Abstract
In this paper, an analytical investigation of the axial load–flexural strength interaction of reinforced masonry walls is carried. The curvature ductility of masonry walls is evaluated for walls with different modes of reinforcement configurations under different levels of axial loads. An analytical expression for evaluating the curvature ductility of masonry walls at varying axial loads is proposed in this paper. Value of curvature ductility obtained from the proposed expression is compared with existing methods. Results indicate the proposed model can be used to determine the ductility of reinforced masonry walls.
