Abstract:In rural brick masonry structures, the connections between walls and structural elements such as tie columns and ring beams are often insufficiently robust. Under seismic ground motions with varying directional ratios, these connections tend to become weak points, leading to overall structural failure. To address this issue, this study focuses on rural brick masonry structures, determines their foundational parameters, and employs a novel composite material, CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer), for reinforcement to enhance their seismic resilience. Using the ABAQUS finite element software, a brick masonry structure commonly used in rural housing construction is modeled, and four types of seismic waves with different peak ground accelerations (PGA) are input. The DYNAMO software is utilized to achieve visual collapse warnings for the brick masonry structure under various seismic conditions in rural buildings. The results indicate that as the energy of the seismic waves decreases, the maximum stress in the CFRP-reinforced brick masonry gradually diminishes, demonstrating its effectiveness in absorbing seismic energy. This significantly enhances the seismic performance of the walls and reduces the vulnerability of rural walls under seismic action.
