Seismic and Collapse Resistant Capacity of New Light Quality Concrete Bearing Masonry

Based on the experimental investigation of quasi-static test of 5 AAC block walls and 1 clay brick wall, the hysteretic behaviors were analyzed on the basis of the experiments. The collapse resistant capacity of walls which were used two different materials was compared. It was shown that the seismic and collapse resistant capacity of autoclaved aerated concrete was improved obviously and reached the level of clay brick wall basically, which was added constructional middle column.
