This paper describes the behavior of walls under in-plane cyclic shear compression of a new reinforced masonry system composed of horizontal and vertical reinforcements based on Iran's national building regulation codes in two groups. In the rst group, grid-type steel bars were mounted on the cement core between solid clay bricks (double-wythe); in the second group, common grid-type steel bars were mounted on perforated bricks and trusses as horizontal reinforcements using advanced numerical simulation (LS-DYNA). A nonlinear nite element discrete modeling according to stressstrain models was applied to represent the previously modeled masonry walls. Masonry units included perforated bricks and solid clay bricks, and the mortar and bonding interfaces were shown as continuum elements. In order to validate the micro-modeling strategy, the input data were based on a reinforced masonry wall previously tested in the laboratory with clear identi cation and justi cation. Accordingly, the main objective of this paper is to (a) examine results of specimens in terms of maximum strength, ductility, energy absorption, and failure modes, (b) investigate the e ect of aspect ratio and reinforcement type, and (c) compare the modeled walls with other reinforced systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
