Numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels with arches

Katrin Beyer, Sujith Mangalathu Sivasubramanian Pillai

This paper presents a numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels supported on arches which are analysed using simplified micro models. The model is validated against results from quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry spandrels. ...

Performance limits of brick masonry spandrels

Katrin Beyer

Spandrel elements in unreinforced brick masonry buildings with timber floors consist of a masonry spandrel supported by either a timber lintel or a masonry arch. When subjected to seismic loading, the force-deformation relationship of such spandrel element ...

Quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry spandrels

Katrin Beyer, Alessandro Dazio

This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign on masonry spandrels. Within this campaign four masonry spandrels were subjected to quasi-static cyclic loading. Two different spandrel configurations were tested. The first configuration comprise ...

Peak and residual strengths of brick masonry spandrels

Katrin Beyer

Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls comprise vertical piers and horizontal spandrels, which together form the lateral load resisting system. Whereas past research yielded significant advances in the understanding of the force-deformation characteristics of ma ...
