EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON BEHAVIOR OF KENCHI BLOCK MASONRY WALL WITH THE SHAKING TABLE TEST DURING BY VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS AND FAILURE MECHANISM

Abstract

 There are many earthquake damages of kenchi block masonry wall. So, we carried out experimental studies on the collapse mechanism of kenchi block masonry wall during earthquake. From these experimental data, i.e. acceleration response magnification, displacement and soil pressure were found to destroy the central wall vibrations caused by the subsidence of the embankment.
