Cyclic Pushover Test on a Full-Scale Masonry Structure
Abstract eng: During the last years, induced seismicity in the northern part of the Netherlands increased and the seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures became an important issue. As the problem is recent, the current building stock is not designed to withstand earthquakes and national guidelines are under development, but currently not yet legally mandatory. Consequently, the validation of analysis methods, such as numerical models, for the assessment of URM buildings became of importance. In order to provide benchmarks for the validation procedures, an extensive experimental campaign was carried out at Delft University of Technology in 2015. The campaign selected as case study a terraced house typology, which was extensively built in the Netherlands during the period 1960-1980. The focus was on the characterisation of the typology at various levels: material, connection, component and assemblage level. In this paper, the experimental findings related to a cyclic pushover test on an assembled structure resembling a typical Dutch terraced house are presented.
