System-Level Displacement- and Performance-Based Seismic Design Parameter Quantifications for an Asymmetrical Reinforced Concrete Masonry Building

This paper focuses on analyzing the performance of structural walls comprising the seismic force resisting system (SFRS) in a scaled asymmetrical fully grouted reinforced masonry (RM) building tested under quasi-static loading. The in-plane tensile and compressive strains calculated at the wall toes and the curvature profile along the wall height as well as the contributions of the flexural and the shear deformations to the overall wall …
