1. ABSTRACT
This paper proposes calculation methods on the compressive and shear load - bearing capacity
for brick masc..lTy structure with concrete culumn and reinforced network. And furthermore con
structional measures are stipulated specifically. This structure is suitable ~o be adopted 11S the wall of
the ordinary building in the un~ortified region and seismic region fc: the grade 6,7 of intensity of
earthquake (GIE 6,7).
2. INTRODUC'!'ION
The brick masonry structure with concrete column is a kind of the composite wall masonry
s:ructure with reinforced concrete constructional column vertically in the masonry wall, or further
more with reinforced network horizontally in the hed joints (Fig.1) . !n general, the cross section Df
the column is 240mm x 240mm ir: dimension, longitudinal reinforce':'lents are 44>12, stirruflS are 4>6 @200 . In view of the less cross section and low reinforcement ratio of the coh.:nn, it is called con
structional column. The reinforced network in the horizontal bed joints is made by steel wire which
diameter is 4mm. The spaing Df concrete column in the wall, the size of reinforcing fabric hole and
the vertical spacing of reinforcing fabric may be determined by calculation. The combined action Df
the concrete column, reinforced network and masonry increases the compressive strength of the ma
sonry wall. Above ali, because of c10sed system formed by the rei'1Íorced concrete column and ring
beam installed at the levei of floor system, it restrains masonry more greatly and increases ductility

3 o CALCULATION OF THE LOAD - BEARING CAPACITY UNDER COMPRESSION o
The load - bearing wall in the building (Fig. 2) installs vertically ooncrete oonstructional 001-
umn, the spacing of which is s and installs horizontally concrete ring beam at the levei of flaor sys
tem. Under the action of load q, as a result of different stiffness between concrete column and ma
sonry and the redistribution of internai force, the concrete colurnn shares the load on the wall. In
addition, ooncrete oolumn and ring beam constitute a kind of "weak frame" which restraint reduces
the transveral deformation of the masonry wall. Meanwhile the masonry surrounded by the weak
frame exists in the two - way compressive state. Besides, concrete column is favourable to increase
the compressive stability of the masonry wall .

Five pieces (NO. 1-NO. 5) of masonry wall in ali have been tested under compression (I] . The
experimental results have shown that under the action of load q (Fig. 2), at the elastic stage, the
vertical oompressive stress of the masonry hetween two columns is large in the middle and small at
874
I
both ends . The maximum of stress decreases with the decrease of the sp&cing of oonstructional 001-
umn . At failure, ihe vertical oompressive stress in the wall obviously diffuses towards outside oon
structional oolumn. The failure patterns are shown as Fig. 3 . Through the analysis of finite element
unlinear whole process, the main factor influencing the oompressive load - bearing capacity of ma
sonry wall is spacing of oonstructional oolumn. Yet the height of the storey of the. building influences
little . The appearance, distribution and development of the cracks obtained from the calculation of
finite element method agree well with the experimental results. The calculated value of cracking load
(<!c,) is very dose to the experimental value . However, the experimental value of ultirnate load (qu)
is 20 . 4 % greater than the calculated value on an average (Table 1). The main reason is that it is
difficult for the calculated model to reflect oompletely the restrllÍnt caused by "weak frame", but the
design value obtained from this method is more reliable.

Based on the experiment and analysis mentioned above, concrete oolumn bears load in cornbina-

tion .with masonry, the load - bearing capacity of the composite member (Fig. 4) under the aetion
ofaxial compression may be caleulated by the following formula:

where N = axial force caused by the design value of load;

adopted approximately(3] ;

The strength inerease faetor "t stands for the ratio of the eompressive load - bearing eapaeity of
briek masonry wall with conerete eonstruetional colurnn to one of unreinforeed briek masonry wall .
Then "tI obtained from the formula (1) has been compared with "t obtained from the analysis of finite
element method shown in table 2. It can be shown from table 2 that the results of two ealeulation
methods mentioned above are very close to eaeh other apart from the situation that spaeing of column
is l.Om.
When steel - wire nets are plaeed horizontally in the mortar joints of wall masonry meanwhile,
the increase strength of wall masonry can be calculated according to the method from literature [3] .

Brick masonry wall with concrete column and reinforced network in the horiwntal mortar joints
has been tested on test installation shown in Fig. 5. There are six pieces (SW - 1-SW - 6) of brick
masonry wall in all. At first. the vertical compressive load is exerted on the top of wall with four
hydraulic synchronism jack before..test. After the compressive force keeps stable. simulated dynamic
tests are being made with 'electro - hydraulic actuator system.
The aseismic behaviour of the brickwork structure has been reported in the literature [2]

4.2 Factors influencing the shear load - bearing capacity
There are still three aspects influencing the shear load - bearing capacity of this kind of masonry
wall as follows in addition to the shear strength of unreinforced masonry and vertical compressive
stress[2] .
( 1) Effect of constructional colurnn and ring beam
Before masonry wall cracks. the strain of concrete and reinforcement in the constructional col
umn and ring beam is tiny . The effect of constructional column and ring beam on masonry is not ob-
877
vious . Once diagonal cracks of masonry wall appear, the defonnation of masonry wall beoomes great
increasingly with the increase of diagonal cracks (Fig . 6). The deformation especially reflects that
small triangle blocks on both sides fonned by "x" - shaped cracks are pushed outwards. It is
"Frame" fonned by oonstructional oolumn and ring beam that restrains small triangle block moving
outwards. Hence, the development of diagonal cracks of masonny wall is oonfined while the shear
strength and ducülity of masonry wall are enhanced . On the other hand, owing to the oonstructional
oolumn on the side of wall and horizontal steel - wire nets in the masonry stretching into oonstruc
tional oolumn, the anchorage behavior of steel - wire nets is strengthened . And meantime, the shear
strength and ductility of masonry wall have been improved a }ittle. It is shown from the experiment
thanhe shear strength of brick masonry wall with concreteoonstructional oolumn is 10 - 15 %
greater than that of brick masonry wall without ooncrete oonstructional oolumn. This paper lets the
shear strength increase factor .pl' owing to oonstructional oolumn and ring bearn equal to 1 . 1 more
reliably.

(2) Effect of horizontal steel - wire nets
After horizontal steel- wire nets are installed in the masonry, the reinforcement of steel - wire
nets in the longitudinal direction of wall bears horizontal shear force and therefore stands tensile, the
short reinforcement in the width direction of wall is chiefly acting on anchorage . Thereby aseismic
.behavior of masonry wall has been furtherly improved .
Test results show that the stress of steel bars in the reinforced network is very little before
cracks of masonry wall appear. Once masonry wall cracks, the stress in the wall is redistributed.
The fonner tensile stress of masonry on the cracked section is bom by reinforcement through cracks.
Then the stress of reinforcement through cracks is greatly raised . Owing to the greater stress in the
middle of wall, cracks are produced in the middle at first. Hence, rules of stress distribution of rein
forcement in the wall are that the stress in the middle is greatest but least on the comer . Part of re
inforcement éan be yielded under ultimate, load.
(3) Influence of dimension of masonry wall
The ratio of the height to the width of wall Àh(H!B) greatly influences the shear strength of
masonry wall. Influences are reflected in the aspect that stress states and' failure patterns of masonry
wall are different . When the ratio of height to width of specimen is greater, masonry wall takes on
the characteristic of bending - pattem failure. On the oontrary, shearing - pattem failure is taken
on. Bending - shearing failure is a kind of failure pattem between two patterns as stated above . In
general, the greater the ratio of height to width, the less the shear strength of masonry wall. Ac-
878
cording to the experimental analysis of 60 pieces of masonry wall. the factor of the effect of the ratio
of height to width of IJUIIIOnry wall tP2 may be calculated by the following fonnula:
tP2 = O. 96 - O. 68lgÀh (3)
4 . 3 Calculation of the aseismic load - bearing capacity of the cross section of masonry wall
The aseisrnic load - bearing capacity of the cross section of brick masonry wall with concrete
constructional column and reinforced network chiefly consists of shear strength of unreinforced ma-
sonry • effect of horizontal steel - wire nets. oon.structiona! column and ring beam and 50 on.
Based on the experimental results of shear strength of 34 pieces of masonry wall with reinforced
network (specimen is 1000mm x 1000mm x 240mm in dimension). the average value of shear
strength of brick masonry with reinforced network may be evaluated by the following fonnula
f •• v.m = O. 75fv.m + 0.4pfyk + 0.4<10
If the dimension of masonry wall is not the same as mentioned above. then
f •. v.m = 0 .75fv.m + 0 . 4À h pfYk + 0.4<10
where fv.m = average value of shear strength of masonry;
p = reinforcement ratio of vertical sectiona! area of steel- wire nets;
f yk = characteristic value of tensile strength of reinforcement .

Overviewing the statement mentioned above. the average value of the shear load - bearing capacity of brick masonry wall with concrete constructiona! column and reinforced network may be cal
culated by the following fonnula:

The test values ( f .. v ) from this paper have been compared with the calculated values ( f •. v )

In accordance with the stipuladon of literatures [4] and [5]. when the design valuesof
the strength of materials are adopted. the aseisrnic load - bearing capacity of the cross secion of brick
masonry wall with concrete constructional column and reinforced network is calculated by the fol-
879

5. MAIN CONSTRUCTIONAL MEASURES
In order to oombine reinforced ooncrete oolumn, ring bearn and horizontal steel - wire nets with
masonry and improve state of stress and behavior of defonnation of ma50nry wall, the main oon
structional ineasures as follows should be taken in the building.
(1) The grade of the strength of day b~ick shouldn' t be lower than MU7 . 5; the grade of the
strength of day brick shouldn' t be lower than MUI0 when steel - wire nets are installed in the ma-
5Onry; the grade of the strength of mortar shouldn' t be lower than M5; the grade of the strength of
ooncrete is not suitable to be lower than C20 .
(2) The least cross section of ooncrete oolumn should be 240mm x 240mm· in dimension; the
longitudinal steel - bars in the oolumn is suitable to be 4</>12, may be 4</>14 when necessary; tie bar
should be placed at the oonnection of oolumn and masonry wall .
(3) The spacing of ooncrete oolumn shouldn' t be greater than 4m. When the width of the hole
in the wall is greater than 3m, ooncrete columns should be installed on both sides of hole .
( 4) Reinforced ooncrete ring beam is installed on every storey in the building and should be
oonnected with ooncrete column.
(5) Reinforcement in the longitudinal direction of wall should be extended into concrete oolumn
or wall which oonnects with it and furthennore should meet the demand for anchorage of tensile re
inforcement.
6. CONCLUSIONS
(1) This wall under oompression is regarded as a kind of oomposite structure . As a result of dif
ferent rigidity between ooncrete oonstructional oolumn and masonny and redistribution of internai
stress and meanwhile restraint on masonry caused by ooncrete oolumn and ring beam, the oompres
sive load - bearing capacity of the wall is raised in a larger degree and can be calculated by the fonnu
la (1).
(2) It is the most obvious for spacing of oolumn to influence the oompressive load - bearing ca
pacity of this wall. The spacing of ooncrete constructional column is not suitable to be greater than
4m when designed.
(3) The shear strength of wall is chiefly related to the grade of the strength of mortar, vertical
oompressive stress, the ratio of the height to the width of wall, reinforcement ratio of horizontal re
inforcement and whether ooncrete oonstructional oolumns are installed or not and 50 on . The shear
880
load - bearing capacity of the masonry wall may be calculated by the formula (7).
(4) In order to make concrete column, ring beam and horiwntal reinforcement restrain mason
ry effectively and bear load in cómbination with one another, the constructional measures this paper
has proposed are necessary.
