    ;
    This article presents a study of the use of ferrocement and expanded metal in the columns, beams, and walls of a reinforced concrete building structure to increase its seismic resistance. This study focused on a concrete building with three stories, located in Thailand. In the design of the reinforcement structure, a calculation and analysis of seismic resistance were conducted in a comparison of the original concrete building structure with the reinforced concrete building structure using the nonlinear static force method (pushover analysis method). The results showed that the seismic resistance of the reinforced concrete building structure was higher than the design value (DPT), with different seismic resistance values for the reinforced frames, columns, and walls of approximately 14%, 81%, and 19%. In particular, it had increased stiffness values for the frames, columns, and walls and increased ductility values for the walls. Moreover, the seismic resistance values originating from the reinforcement were significantly higher than those of the concrete building structure. Therefore, reinforcement should be applied to all concrete building structures with the implementation of the damage index, ensuring that it is reduced to the allowable level.

    A Damage Index for Assessing Seismic-Resistant Designs of Masonry Wall Buildings Reinforced with X-Bracing Concrete Frames
    (2023-12-01)

    ;
    In this paper, a suitable damage index is demonstrated to assess the seismic-resistant design of masonry wall buildings reinforced with double x-bracing concrete frames. As a criterion indicative of the damage level that might occur after an earthquake, the damage index can be calculated by using analytic results, by using the Park–Ang formula on masonry wall buildings reinforced with concrete structures, and by adjusting the index values in accordance with the results of the analysed models. The data used in this study are collected from the results of four-storey concrete structures with masonry walls under cyclical lateral forces. To simulate the masonry walls’ structural behaviours for damage assessment, x-bracings placed as crosses on each bracing are used to support the compressive strength. Then, the analysis results are used to assess the damage that occurs to the masonry wall building structure by considering deformation and energy decay; additionally, a suitable damage index is calculated for each damage level. The damage index can be considered in the seismic-resistant design of masonry walls reinforced with x-bracing concrete frames.
