- Abstract
- The report summarizes the findings of the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) reports dealing with the test behavior of reinforced masonry piers subjected to in-plane loadings (both static and dynamic cyclic). It considers reports 76/8 and 76/16 on double piers; 78/27, 78/28, 79/12 on single piers; and 81/10 on seismic design provisions. The effect of horizontal reinforcing on pier behavior, in particular shear ductility, is considered in more detail.
