Abstract(s)
This paper presents an experimental study on the influence
of longitudinal reinforcement ratio and steel fibre volume in
self-compacting concrete infill on the strength and ductility of
reinforced masonry walls subjected to flexure. Flexure tests
were performed as four-point bending tests on twelve walls.
The analysis of the concrete infill contribution to the walls
capacity is made considering recent recommendations for
steel fibre reinforced concrete design. A ductility index was
defined and applied to study the ductility behaviour of the
masonry walls. The analysed variables are the longitudinal
reinforcement ratio and the steel fibre volume in the
concrete infill.
