- Description
- The paper focusses on seismic damage analysis of reinforced concrete (R/C) members, accounting for shear-flexure interaction in the inelastic range. A finite element of the beam-column type for the seismic analysis of R/C structures is first briefly described. The analytical model consists of two distributed flexibility sub-elements which interact throughout the analysis to simulate inelastic flexural and shear response. The finite element accounts for shear strength degradation with inelastic curvature demand, as well as coupling between inelastic flexural and shear deformations after flexural yielding. Based on this model, a seismic damage index is proposed taking into account both inelastic flexural and shear deformations, as well as their interaction. The finite element and the seismic damage index are used to analyse the response of R/C columns tested under cyclic loading and failing either in shear or in flexure. It is shown that the analytical model and damage index can predict and describe well the hysteretic response of R/C
columns with different types of failure.

- Description
- Due to their physical and chemical properties, mortars made with lime are considered to be more compatible
with historic fabrics than those made with artificial cements. This paper intends to contribute to the knowledge of the behavior of lime mortar masonry, by exploring the mechanical properties of clay brick masonry
bound with both hydraulic and non-hydraulic lime mortars. Masonry wallettes built with a (non-hydraulic)
low-strength, calcium lime binder (CL90-s) and a natural-hydraulic-lime of hydraulic strength 5 MPa. (NHL
5) were tested for compressive and flexural strength. The strength of the bond between the mortar and the
brick was also measured.
The results examine the relationships between the mortar properties and the ultimate strength results of the
two types of masonry tested. The paper also compares the mechanical behaviour of the two masonry types
under lateral and vertical loads and studies the modes of failure and their relationship with the mortar properties measured. The results were also compared with strength predictions of building standards.
