Experiment
Multiple two leaf parapets, secured using common retrofits of the area and experimentally validated retrofits, will be dynamically loaded on a Shake table to provide experimental data of their effectiveness in a dynamic setting.Test both experimentally validated and industry accepted retrofits for URM parapets to see which methods are the most effective. GoalsSlide3
Securing of URM parapets
Different Ties were used to connect the two leafs of the masonry wall. We will see their results after data processing. Finished the Pull-Out testing project.Testing of Masonry walls in One-Way Bending and Two-Way bending were completed on an existing building set for demolition due being deemed as Seismically unsafe.Slide4
Next Week
Continue updating the Working Model of the parapet and attach the different retrofits that we will be testing. Construction of the Parapet Shake Table.Data processing from the Masonry Wall testing.Slide5
