Method for evaluating the safety and seismic performance of rowlock wall buildings
Based on the research of many scholars,this paper proposes an evaluation method for the safety and seismic performance of masonry structures with empty bucket wall as the main load-bearing component,according to the Standard for appraisal of reliability of civil buildings and Standard for seismic appraisal of buildings.By defining the multiple factor,it is clear that the compressive capacity of the empty bucket wall can meet the current reliability requirements according to the 88 edition of the code,and it is recommended to calculate the method.According to the standard and other scholars'research results,the shear capacity can be approximated as 1/2 of the shear capacity of solid wall in the current standard.Finally,a calculation example of safety and seismic performance evaluation of a three-story building with empty bucket wall is introduced.
