Cyclic Tests of Cantilever CMU Wall Specimen BE-4 with Boundary Elements, at WSU

Specimen BE-4, with wall returns at each end, had an aspect ratio of 2.0, four confined No. 6 and four confined No. 3 vertical reinforcing bars located at the ends of the wall, one No. 4 vertical bar located at mid-length, two No. 3 horizontal bars spaced 8-in. on center, and zero axial load. Confinement of the No. 6 and No. 3 vertical bars at the ends of the wall was provided by ¼-in. diameter HRR wire closed hoops placed in-plane and transverse to the wall. All vertical reinforcement was developed in the footing and was continuous throughout the wall height.
