Abstract:
Prestressed withhold tenon type masonry is a new type of masonry material. It provides a theoretical basis for the application of this new masonry structure through the promotion of experimental research. This test incluves a total of six prestressed withhold fit through masonry walls, including four tendons with no stem test mortar walls, a configuration tendons to free the stem no mortar test wall, and 1 piece with no tendons experimental stem wall. Through quasi-static reversed cyclic loading test of masonry walls, the results show that the nonlinear static characteristics of walls with tendons with no stem test mortar, tendons no stem and mortar, no tendons experimental stem wall. The results include the loads and displacements when walls cracking and reaching the limit state. It also shows the walls'destruction process and shapes. The hysteretic curves and skeleton curves can be plotted according to the test data. It analyzes and compares the walls'ductility, stiffness degradation performance, seismic energy dissipation performance, and obtains walls'most suitable ratio of axial compression stress using tendons.
