20.500.12556/RUL-131849 Out-of-plane experimental study of strengthening slender non-structural masonry walls Non-structural masonry partition walls, which are mainly designed to functionally separate spaces in the buildings and provide physical barriers between rooms, were traditionally built from either solid or hollow clay units or autoclaved aerated concrete blocks. Recent earthquakes have revealed the high vulnerability of these elements, even in the case of low to moderate seismic events. Public buildings (e.g., hospitals and schools) are particularly vulnerable. Due to their greater floor-to-floor heights and the response spectra of floors, the dynamic response of primary structure may provoke significantly higher seismic loads on partition walls. The main goal of the presented experimental study was to investigate the behavior of slender partition walls loaded out-of-plane with a simple and cost-effective approach that may be applied through routine refurbishment works. Eleven full-scale slender non-structural masonry partition walls were built with brickwork and cement lime mortar. Eight of them were additionally strengthened with different techniques, including glass fiber-reinforcing fabric and low-cost glass fiber-rendering mesh. To evaluate the efficiency of the applied strengthening solutions, out-of-plane quasi-static cyclic experiments were conducted. By applying meshes over the entire surfaces, the resistance was significantly improved with the low-cost approach reaching half of the resistance of the commercially available strengthening system preserving the same displacement capacity. non-structural masonry partition walls seismic strengthening glass fiber out-of-plane behavior cyclic loading strengthening seismic performance nekonstrukcijski predelni zidovi protipotresno utrjevanje steklena vlakna izvenravninsko obnašanje ciklično obremenjevanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-10-04 13:37:10 2021-10-04 13:37:12 2025-04-25 13:27:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 24 str. iss. 19, art. 9098 Vol. 11 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 624.04 2076-3417 10.3390/app11199098 78654211 applsci-11-09098-v3_(1).pdf applsci-11-09098-v3_(1).pdf 1 98B59BDEAF7E4C83712CF699639E588D ffb4167ce17bc7543f4f3526fc6a571b628d7acc0e35defa39fe49f8f2128ca2 5bdd284a-1b72-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=208663 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/11/19/9098 1 2029a3b2-2507-11ec-a523-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=149264 Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo 0 0 0
