Potential Use of Locked Brick Infill Walls to Decrease Soft-Story Formation in Frame Buildings
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of a new type of infillcalled locked brick infill adopting horizontal sliding jointsin reducing the soft-story formation in reinforced concrete (RC) frames with code-conforming seismic detailing. Nonlinear static time-history analyses were performed on multistory planar frames with only the upper stories infilled in order to force the soft-story irregularity. The parameters of frame and infill elements that were used in numerical simulations were obtained from half-scale RC infilled frame tests that had been performed by the author covering single story-single bay frames infilled with standard and locked bricks. The numerical simulations showed that the use of locked bricks to form infill walls has the potential to decrease the soft-story/weak-story formation in comparison to standard bricks due to its shear sliding mechanism and decreased upper-story/first-story stiffness, even in buildings that have noninfilled first stories.

Numerical Model Calibration and a Parametric Study Based on the Out-Of-Plane Drift Capacity of Stone Masonry Walls
Failure under seismic action generally occurs in the form of out-of-plane collapses of walls before reaching their in-plane strength in historical stone masonry buildings. Consistent finite element (FE) macro modeling has emerged as a need for use in seismic assessments of these walls. This paper presents the numerical model calibration of U-shaped multi-leaf stone masonry wall specimens tested under ambient vibrations and out-of-plane (OOP) load reversals. The uncertain elastic parameters were obtained by manual calibration of the numerical models based on ambient vibration test (AVT) data of the specimens. To obtain nonlinear calibration parameters, static pushover analyses were performed on FE models simulating quasi-static tests. The calibrated numerical models matched well with the experimental results in terms of load–drift response and damage distribution. As a result, the modulus of elasticity and tensile and compressive degrading strength parameters of masonry walls were proposed. A parametric study was conducted to examine the effects of different materials and geometric properties (tensile strength, aspect ratio, slenderness ratio, and geometric scale) on the OOP behavior of stone masonry walls. A quite different strain distribution was obtained in the case of a large aspect ratio, while it was determined that the geometric scale had no effect on the strain distribution. Tensile strength was the dominant parameter affecting the load–drift response of the models. Within the presented work, a practical tool for out-of-plane seismic assessment has been proposed for the structures covered in this paper
Strengthening of non-seismically detailed reinforced concrete beam-column joints using SIFCON blocks
This article aims to propose a novel seismic strengthening technique for non-seismically detailed beam column joints of existing reinforced concrete buildings, typical of the pre-1975 construction practice in Turkey. The technique is based on mounting pre-fabricated SIFCON composite corner and plate blocks on joints with anchorage rods. For the experimental part three 2/3 scale exterior beam column joint specimens were tested under quasi-static cyclic loading. One of them was a control specimen with non-seismic details, and the remaining two with the same design properties were strengthened with composite blocks with different thickness and anchorage details. Results showed that the control specimen showed brittle shear failure at low drift levels, whereas in the strengthened specimens, plastic hinge formation moved away from column face allowing specimens to fail in flexure. The proposed technique greatly improved lateral strength, stiffness, energy dissipation, and ductility
