EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BRICK WALLS STRENGTHENED WITH SIDED LATTICED STEEL PLATE

Pseudo-static test of four walls with aspect ratio of 0.7 and 1.75 was carried out to study the improvement of seismic performance of sided latticed steel plate reinforced brick masonry wall,the wall failure characteristics and bearing capacity and deformation properties.Of which 2 walls were the reference ones,and the other two were sided lattice steel plate reinforced walls.The experimental results showed that the bearing capacity of side latticed steel plate reinforced brick wall of 0.7 aspect ratio increased by about 50%,basically no increase in wall bearing capacity of 1.75 aspect ratio,the deformation properties of reinforced wall were greatly improved.
