Seismic Response Modification Factors for Reinforced Masonry Structural Walls
Abstract
The current North American design standards provide seismic force modification factors for the rectangular masonry structural walls category only; no similar provisions for flanged and end-confined masonry structural walls exist. This study demonstrates that seismic force reduction factor (R) values calculated for rectangular walls was close to 5.0, which is consistent with the value stipulated by the ASCE 7, and was 36 and 90% higher for the …
