Study on the behavior of a high reinforced concrete building with different kinds of partitioning masonry walls. Issue 1 (May 2021) - Constantinescu, S
Abstract: The paper is a study on different types of masonry partitioning walls in a high rise reinforced concrete walls building. It will be built in Bucharest, Romania. The masonry walls are made of clay bricks for the first 4 cases studied and aerated concrete blocks for the last 2 cases. They are designed to bare the in plane and perpendicular efforts they are subjected to in the elastic stage. The effect these masonry walls have on the structures is shown. They have an important influence over the buildings natural vibration periods and the slabs reinforcement design and shear stresses. The plastic hinges development is shown for all 6 cases. The pushover diagrams are compared separately for directions X and Y.
