Masonry construction comprises a large portion of building construction         in the U.S. and the world.  Reinforced masonry construction use is              increasing in moderate to higher seismic zones because of its apparent          features of economy, fire safety, architectural flexibility, and ease           of construction.  The present state of masonry structural analysis and          design and materials and construction technologies does not enable an           accurate prediction of building behavior under lateral loads such as            seismic loads.  This research project is an experimental and analytical         investigation of the seismic response of concrete plank diaphragms.             Many masonry buildings are constructed with floor slab systems                  consisting of concrete planks.  The first of two tasks will be                  full-scale experimental tests of concrete diaphragm slabs.  The second          task will integrate existing diaphragm data with the experimental test          data to determine the behavioral and strength characteristics.
