Restoration of Seismically-vulnerable Historical Masonry Structures Struck by an Earthquake Part 14. Diagonal Compression Test on Nepalese Masonry Walls with and without Reinforcement

摘要

(1) Shear strength of URM wall specimens was very low,however, the shear deformation angle was exceeding 4%.(2) The TRM and SRM in our study increased the average shearstrength by 1.98 and 2.78 fold, respectively.(3) Buckling observed in the reinforced specimens at the topportion of the structure as well as in the top and bottom horizontalreinforcing members.(4) The damage in SRM specimens was more concentratedaround the bolt than the TRM specimens.
