Seismic Design and Performance Evaluation of Controlled Rocking Masonry Shear Walls without Posttensioning

Abstract

Unbonded posttensioned controlled rocking masonry walls (PT-CRMWs) have been increasingly studied in the last decades due to their promising results regarding seismic resilience. However, implementing posttensioning (PT) has still some drawbacks, such as construction challenges, PT losses, and yielding during a seismic event. In response, this study investigates a newly proposed energy dissipation-controlled rocking masonry wall (ED-CRMW), …
