Abstract

This research aims to study the shear resistance and deformation capacity of reinforced masonry shear walls. By using the method of nonlinear regression analysis, the maximum shear resistance and deformation characteristics of the 295 reinforced masonry shear wall specimens in the quasi-static test database were analyzed, and corresponding prediction formulas were provided. A comparative analysis was also conducted with the existing shear resistance calculation formula for reinforced masonry shear walls in the current masonry code. The results indicate that the current code’s calculation formula underestimates the contribution of grouted masonry to the shear resistance of the wall, and overestimates the influence of horizontal steel reinforcement. The significance of this study lies in its potential to impact building codes and design practices to enhance the seismic performance of reinforced masonry shear walls.
