Polypropylene Band Strengthening Seismic Test On Tibet Single Masonry Of Regular Plane And Finite Element Simulation Analysis

Masonry structures for six tenth resident population in the world, are widely distributed in China and other developing countries, and also widely distributed in earthquake-prone zones. Masonry structures are very easily destroyed by earthquake and casualty caused by its collapse is one of main factors. Some of farming herdsman's buildings have many seismic problems in high intensity region of Tibet. Seismic strengthening for Tibet farming herdsman's residential project is extremely urgent, as the requirement of Lhasa government. This paper basing on research results of masonry structures at home and abroad, with the shaking table test simulating earthquake for Tibet farming herdsman's residential project and masonry structure finite element models of ABAQUS, analyzed the contents as follows:1. Through seismic strengthening test for Tibet farming herdsman's residential project analyzed the seismic strengthening of the models with no polypropylene band, polypropylene band and half polypropylene band, and demonstrated feasibility of polypropylene band seismic strengthening.2. Referenced for results of masonry structures constitutive relation, failure criterion and finite element simulation, used finite element models of ABAQUS, and further verified experimental results.3. According to present situation of Tibet farming herdsman's buildings, putted forward measures and suggestions on strengthening seismic.
