- Description
- Confined Semi-Interlocking Masonry (CSIM) is an innovative system which is constituted of the semi-interlocking masonry panel together with confining reinforced concrete elements. The semi-interlocking masonry (SIM) has already been studied as infill panels for framed structures and its suitable seismic performance was proven. It is claimed that CSIM building is an alternative to currently used confined masonry buildings. In a CSIM building, not only CSIM walls resist both lateral and gravity loads, but they are also supposed to be energy dissipation devices to the building. In this study, A CSIM building was assessed using a new macro-model suitable to simulate the behaviour of CSIM. In this way, the resettable semi-active damper model was employed to simulate the behaviour of SIM panels in CSIM walls. The responses of a CSIM building to a cyclic displacement excitation were assessed in terms of strength, displacement, and energy dissipation. The hysteresis behaviour of the CSIM building could be appropriately presented by the macro-model. Besides, it was indicated that the CSIM building had considerable energy dissipation thanks to the presence of in-plane sliding joints in the body of SIM panels that led to higher ductility and displacement capacity for the whole building.
