tal and numerical investigation are previously given in order to explain the reasons for the design choice. ,:one of the concerns with the conventional metal anchors that are used to tie the brick veneer to the backup portion of enclosure walls ( block) is the potential for corrosion. Corrosion reduces the loadcarrying capacity of such ties and this could lead to brittle failure especially in the event of an earthquake. In this paper ,the force in lateral ties in a typical brick veneer wall system are evaluated when the building is subjected to some earthquake records. Distribution of tie forces resulting from the dynamic analysis of a finite element model of the brick veneermasonry block wall system are determined and pared to the conventional assumption. The performance of a corrosion resistant stainless steel helical tie is pared with that of conventional ties. The potential advantages of this relatively new type of masonry tie are discussed with respect to its use in seismic regions. ,: an experimental study, performed on brick masonry 共 5 頁 第 5 頁 panels strengthened by Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) laminates, was aimed to investigate the efficiency of an alternative shear reinforcement technique. A series of 9 unreinforced masonry (URM) panels and 24 strengthened panels have been subjected to diagonal pression tests. Different reinforcement configurations were evaluated. Experimental results pointed out that FRP reinforcement applied only at one side of the panels did not significantly modify the shear collapse mechanisms (diagonal splitting) of the URM。 已經(jīng)被斷定,在鋼筋混凝土結(jié)構(gòu)建筑物的第八至
