| Zusammenfassung |
| During the last earthquakes in Turkey, reinforced concrete structures in the
cities and masonry structures in the rural part were exposed to damage and
failure. Masonry houses such as earthen, brick and stone structures are
composed of building blocks with weak inter-binding action which have low
tension capacity. Bending and shear forces generate tensile stresses which
cannot be well tolerated. In this paper, the performance of masonry
structures during recent earthquakes in Turkey is discussed with
illustrative photographs taken after earthquakes. The followings are the
main weakness in the materials and unreinforced masonry constructions and
other reasons for the extensive damage of masonry buildings. Very low
tensile and shear strength particularly with poor mortar, brittle behaviour
in tension as well as compression, stress concentration at corners of
windows and doors, overall unsymmetry in plan and elevation of building,
unsymmetry due to imbalance in the sizes and positions of walls and openings
in the walls, defects in construction such as use of substandard materials,
unfilled joints between bricks, not-plump walls, improper bonding between
walls at right angles etc. |
