Analysis and Design of Low-Rise Masonry and Concrete Walls Retrofitted Using Steel Strips
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 126, Issue 9
Abstract
Indeterminate truss models are proposed for the analysis of low-rise walls retrofitted using a special system of vertical and diagonal steel strips. An equilibrium diagram is also presented to calculate the ultimate strength of walls based on a lower bound theorem of plasticity. Step-by-step analyses were conducted to establish force-displacement relationships of walls that compared well with those obtained experimentally. A simple retrofit design procedure is formulated and illustrated using a numerical example.
