Building material innovations in various interlocking concrete block masonry from local materials to withstand lateral earthquake forces is an exciting issue in masonry wall research. The block hook has an advantage in the interlocking system's invention to withstand loads in the in-plane and out-of-plane orientations commonly required by the masonry walls against earthquake forces. Reviews of the investigation of in-plane and out-of-plane masonry walls have rarely been found in previous studies. In this paper, the results of a series of experimental tests with different interlocking models in resisting the simultaneous in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending actions on concrete blocks are presented. This paper presents a research investigation of various interlocking concrete blocks' mechanical properties with different hook thicknesses. Discussion of the trends mentioned above and their implications towards interlocking concrete block mechanical properties is provided.

<p>Steel sheet shear walls with cold formed edge stiffened burring holes are applied to low- to mid-rise housings in seismically active and typhoon- or hurricane-prone regions. A configuration with burrs on the inside and smooth on the outside enables the construction of omitting the machining of holes for equipments and thinner walls with simplified attachments of finishings. In-plane shear experiments and finite element analyses revealed that the walls allowed shear stress to concentrate in intervals between the burring holes. The walls maintained stable shear load and large deformation behavior, and the deformation areas were limited in the intervals and a large out-of-plane waveform in a sheet was effectively prevented owing to edge stiffened burring ribs. The design methods are developed for evaluating the shear load of the walls at story angle from zero to 1/100, using the idea of decreasing the band width of the inclined tension fields on the intervals with the effects of the thickness.</p>

Abstract In the event of a severe earthquake, the walls of brick buildings experience in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending, leading to diagonal crack and corner failure respectively. In this study, an experimental investigation was carried to observe the above damages on brick masonry buildings reinforced with geogrid embedded in bed joint mortar of the walls. It was observed that the geogrid reinforced brick panels showed better shear strength, lateral strength, ductility, etc. A qualitative comparison was made using a sinusoidal shake table test on a one-fourth single-room building model consisting of two sets of corner walls with and without geogrid reinforcement. It was observed that the corner wall without reinforcement showed crack initiation at 0.45g and complete collapse with over toppling of the transverse wall at 0.90g, while no sign of damages for the corner walls strengthened with geogrid reinforcement for any level of shaking.

AbstractA numerical method combining finite element analysis and a hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed to inversely determine the elastic constants from the vibration testing data. As verified from composite material specimens, the repeatability and accuracy of the proposed inverse determination method are confirmed, and it also proves that the concept of effective elastic constants is workable. Moreover, three different sets of assumptions to reduce the five independent elastic constants to four do not make clear difference on the obtained results by the proposed method. In addition, to obtain robust values of the five elastic constants for a transversely isotropic material, it is recommended to use the out-of-plane Poisson's ratio instead of the out-of-plane shear modulus as the fifth one.
