The behaviour and failure mode of fully-grouted concrete blockwork masonry walls under
compression loading is of great importance in the design of masonry structures, which are …

The lack of understanding the behaviour of concrete masonry and the complex interaction
existing between its components (block, mortar, and grout) at failure may be the cause of the …

Concrete masonry is a multi-component structural system. In the case of reinforced concrete
masonry, the system includes the concrete units, the mortar, the reinforcing steel and the …

The nonlinear composite nature of masonry has limited theoretical understanding of material
shear strength–especially with concrete block, where minimal experimentation has rendered …

Compression parallel to the bed joint occurs due to flexure in masonry beam elements.
Currently, it is believed that there is a reduction in the compressive strength of masonry …

Canadian and American standards provide the compressive strength of concrete masonry
assemblage as dependent on compressive strength of blocks, mortar type, and percentage …

Grouted concrete block masonry (GCBM) exhibits distinct directional properties. By the
phenomenological approach, totally 86 tests on 3 kinds of macro-element were conducted …

Failure criteria for the tensile strength of ungrouted and grouted unreinforced concrete
masonry are developed. These criteria account for the strength variation due to the …

This paper focuses on a structural reliability-based assessment of clay brick unreinforced
masonry (URM) walls subjected to uniformly distributed out-of-plane loads in one-way …

The behaviour of concrete masonry under in-plane compression combined with out-of-plane
bending was examined both experimentally and analytically. Ungrouted and grouted …
