Reinforced masonry shear wall blast response limits for ASCE 59 and CSA S850
Abstract
The current blast response limits for reinforced masonry (RM) walls in North American blast standards are based on parameters that neither account for the wall ductility capacities nor the influence of different design configurations on the wall damage tolerance levels. Specifically, ASCE (2011) and CSA (2012) currently assign a support chord rotation limit for each damage state (i.e., Superficial, Moderate, Heavy, and Hazardous) regardless of …
