Concrete hollow block masonry is widely used in North American and Australasian countries
because it enables to accommodate grouting and reinforcement to resist higher axial and …

Hollow block masonry buildings constructed alongside busy roads are vulnerable to
vehicular impacts resulting in damage to property and harm to the building and vehicle …

The study evaluates the compatibility relationship of plaster bonds with the substrate under
an accelerated aging environment for control and granite cutting waste (GCW) incorporated …

Masonry buildings constructed along busy roads are vulnerable to vehicular impacts. As
most of these impacts are likely to occur at low velocity due to severe braking by drivers to …

Bond strength is a crucial factor that impacts the performance, structural reliability and
stability of masonry constructions. This paper aims to examine the efficacy of various …

The masonry structure made of mortar and other components, amalgamated together by
interfaces. Evaluations of behaviour of masonry structures are very important under different …

When mortar is exposed to the marine environment, its mechanical properties can degrade
due to weathering by seawater spray and capillary rise. This paper investigates the …

Most international masonry design standards include the contribution of reinforcements to
enhance the capacity of reinforced masonry walls subject to seismic loading. As masonry is …

This paper reports a study on the failure of masonry walls subject to vehicular impacts. The
investigation encompasses a homogenised masonry material model incorporating strain …

Lateral restrainers are traditionally provided in reinforced masonry (RM) walls to prevent the
vertical steel bars from buckling. In the current version of the Australian Masonry Standards …
