Model for the Nonlinear Analysis of Confined Masonry Buildings
Abstract eng: This paper presents a practical displacement-based evaluation procedure for the seismic assessment of low-height confined masonry buildings. First, the Coefficient Method is adapted to obtain rapid estimates of inelastic roof displacement demands for regular confined masonry buildings. Second, a nonlinear simplified model is introduced to perform pushover analysis of confined masonry buildings whose global and local behavior is dominated by shear deformations in the masonry walls. The model, which can be applied through the use of commercial software, can be used to estimate the capacity curve of a confined masonry building.
