Análisis Experimental y Analítico de las Propiedades Estructurales ante Cargas Laterales de una Mampostería Reforzada utilizando el Bloque de Hormigón propuesto por la Empresa Inova TK

Abstract

Masonry is one of materials with more measure and variety that exist in construction of civil works, before it, reinforced masonry has been the center of several experimental and analytical studies that have resulted in the development of Standards that control its quality and decide construction design processes. This investigation allowed to analyze the behavior of the structural masonry before lateral loads, for this three reinforced masonry walls were constructed, whose dimensions and minimum requirements are based on the norm NEC SE MP and ACI530-11. The constructed prototypes were subjected to cyclic lateral load tests based on ASTM Standard 2126-11, which were performed in the (CIV-EPN), yielding experimental data such as loads and greatest displacements of the masonry specimens tested With this data the force-displacement hysteresis diagrams were obtained and with it the capacity curves; important variables to know the structural behavior of each wall, in the same way the variation of the following parameters was analyzed: dissipated energy, drying rigidity, degradation of stiffness and degradation of resistance, also an analytical program was developed that allows obtaining the curve of masonry capacity using ideal conditions, after this the results of the two phases were compared: experimental-analytical.
