Özet
Earthquake effects were investigated in single-story masonry buildings with walls of different heights and thicknesses. Five different masonry building models were created, with wall thicknesses ranging from 16 cm to 32 cm and wall heights ranging from 260 cm to 340 cm. In total, 25 different masonry building models were analysed using the STA4 CAD programme in accordance with the 2018 Turkish Earthquake Code. C-30 concrete and S-420 steel were used in the designed building models. A 12 cm thick reinforced concrete slab was designed. A live load of 0.2 t/m2 was designed on the slab. The mortar strength of the brick wall was taken as 30 MPa. A comparison of a reference building model with a height of 260 cm and a wall spacing of 16 cm with a building model with a floor spacing of 340 and a wall spacing of 32 cm shows that earthquake resistance can be increased by approximately 72%, and this increase in shear strength reaches approximately 89% and 95% in the x and y direction, respectively. When the wall thickness was doubled from 16 cm to 32 cm, the highest strength increases of approximately 94% was observed in the model with a wall height of 300 cm.
