Experimental investigation of the in-plane seismic response ofrubble stone masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Savvas Saloustros

A large experimental campaign on the in-plane seismic response of rubble stone masonry walls is currently under development at the Structural Engineering platform laboratory at EPFL (Switzerland). The main objective of this campaign is the experimental inv ...

Stability of thin reinforced concrete walls under cyclic loads: State-of-the-art and new experimental findings

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Angelica Rosso

Damage to structural walls in the recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) demonstrated that modern reinforced concrete (RC) walls may not achieve the expected ductile response but could possibly be triggered by out-of-plane displacements ...

Experimental and numerical evaluation of a U-shaped thin lightly reinforced concrete wall tested under cyclic loading

Katrin Beyer

Reinforced concrete walls provide effective bracing against seismic lateral loading for buildings worldwide. In Latin America, seismic design provisions commonly adhere to the ACI 318 building code, which is predominantly based on United States constructio ...

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 ...

Scaling unreinforced masonry for reduced-scale seismic testing

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry

When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry was rather challenging and often significant d ...

Shake table testing of a half-scale stone masonry building aggregate

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic

Masonry aggregates have developed throughout city centres of Europe due to a centuries-long densification process that generally lacked consistent planning or engineering. Adjacent units are connected either through interlocking stones or a layer of mortar ...

On the conjugate symmetry and sparsity of the harmonic decomposition of parametric surfaces with the randomised Kaczmarz method

Katrin Beyer

This limitation is circumvented by using scalable and non–memory–intensive harmonic expansions. In this paper, the projection of parametric surfaces onto disk and spherical harmonics bases is investigated, and three novel computationally efficient algorith ...

Drift Capacity Models for the New Masonry Chapter of Eurocode 8 Part 1-2

Katrin Beyer, Savvas Saloustros, Ernesto Andrés Inzunza Araya

The masonry chapter of the new Eurocode 8 Part 1 contains several novelties, including new differentiation between unreinforced masonry typologies with regard to drift capacities and therefore q(D)-factors. Drift capacity models for masonry walls are empir ...

Investigating the cracking of plastered stone masonry walls under shear–compression loading

Katrin Beyer, Michele Godio, Amir Rezaie

Cracks are the most important source of information about the damage that occurs to unreinforced masonry piers under seismic actions. To predict the structural state of unreinforced masonry piers after an earthquake, research models have been developed to ...

Future directions for reinforced concrete wall buildings in Eurocode 8

Katrin Beyer

The current Eurocode 8 belongs to one of the most advanced international seismic design codes. This leading edge should be maintained in future revisions of the code while the code should become as user friendly as possible. This article makes several prop ...

Behaviour of U-shaped RC walls under quasi-static cyclic diagonal loading

Katrin Beyer, Raluca-Tereza Constantin

This article presents results from the experimental testing of two half-scale RC U-shaped walls under quasi-static cyclic bi-directional loading along the diagonal direction of the U-shaped section, which were recently completed at EPFL. The main objective ...

Three-Parameter Kinematic Theory for Shear-Dominated Reinforced Concrete Walls

Boyan Iliev Mihaylov, Katrin Beyer, Pia Hannewald

This paper is aimed at addressing the need for physically accurate and computationally effective models for predicting the response of shear-dominated reinforced concrete walls. The presented theory is based on a three-degree-of-freedom kinematic model for ...

Structural Concrete Rubble Arrangements - A Framework for Upcycling Demolition Waste into Slender Masonry Walls for Buildings

Katrin Beyer, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Stefana Parascho, Maxence Grangeot, Qianqing Wang

Reused concrete rubble is a challenging material to design and construct with despite its potential for diverging waste from landfilling and energyintensive recycling. We propose a design to construction framework that leverages a camera and computationall ...

Experimental investigation of friction stresses between adjacent panels made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and between OSB panels and glued laminated timber (GLT) frame members

Katrin Beyer

The paper presents experimental investigations of friction properties (a) between adjacent sheathing panels made of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) and (b) between OSB panels and glued laminated timber (GLT) frame members as they occur, for example, between pa ...

Effective Stiffness and drift capacity of modern unreinforced masonry walls

Katrin Beyer, Bastian Valentin Wilding

Code design of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is based on elastic analysis, which requires as input parameter the effective stiffness and the ultimate drift capacity of the in-plane force-displacement response of URM walls. Eurocode 8, for example, e ...

Experimental investigation on seismic behaviour of slab-column connections

Katrin Beyer, Aurelio Muttoni, Ioannis Sokratis Drakatos

Code design of slab-column connections to resist seismically induced drifts is currently based on empirical relationships for both moment and deformation capacity. The results of tests on slabcolumn connections are however sensitive to the conception of th ...

Modelling of spandrel elements in URM structures with RC slabs or ring beams

Katrin Beyer, Alessandro Dazio

In many unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings reinforced concrete (RC) slabs or ring beams maintain the integrity of the building when subjected to seismic loading and redistribute forces between different URM piers. In addition, RC slabs and ring beams con ...

Displacement-based seismic design of symmetric single-storey wood-frame buildings with the aid of the N2 method

Katrin Beyer, Panagiotis Mergos

This paper presents a new methodology for the displacement-based seismic design of symmetric single-storey wood-frame buildings. Previous displacement-based design efforts were based on the direct displacement-based design approach, which uses a substitute ...
