Experimental Study of Seismic Performance of Rural Brick Walls Reinforced with Double⁃layer Packing Belt
In order to improve the seismic performance of rural brick walls, pseudo-static tests on two brick walls strengthened by two double-layer packing belts and two unreinforced brick walls was performed. Seismic performance such as the failure mode, horizontal bearing capacity, hysteretic performance, and energy dissipation was studied under the vertical stress of 0.35 MPa and 0.6 MPa. The test results show that the two original walls were in shear failure, and the reinforced wall was in bending failure under the vertical stress of 0.35 MPa and was in shear failure under the vertical stress of 0.6 MPa. The reinforcement reduced the damage degree and the crack width of the wall, and the reinforcement layer and integrity of the wall were good when the wall was damaged. The cracking and ultimate load of the wall increased after reinforcement, and increased greatly when the vertical stress was large. After reinforcement, the hysteretic curve of the wall was more full, and the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the specimens was improved. When the vertical stress was small, the descending stage of the horizontal load-peak displacement skeleton curve of the strengthened wall was more gentle, and the ductility of the specimens was increased by 50% and the energy dissipation capacity was increased by 447%. The double-layer packing belt reinforcement method can significantly reduce the wall damage, and effectively improve the wall seismic performance, especially when in a small vertical stress. The research results can provide reference for the development of rural brick walls reinforcement and in practical engineering.
