In this paper, an experimental and statistical analysis was carried out from hollow concrete
blocks. Firstly, 30 blocks were tested under compression force (vertical-direction). After, 60 …

Mortar joint thickness has a significant effect on capacity of structural masonry. Data on
mortar joint thickness (bed and head joints) were collected from twelve typical storey-high …

The main goal of the research project presented herein is to investigate the effect of damp
proof courses and soft layer wall bearings on the seismic shear behaviour of unreinforced …

Landslides result from weak surfaces with varying rock-soil properties, posing a significant
concern for engineering and accurate deformation analysis. This study investigated the …

Past earthquakes in Indonesia have caused loss of life and major damage to buildings and
infrastructure. Most of the damage was experienced on non-engineered buildings, which …

In this study, out-of-plane experimental tests are performed on masonry partitions in
reinforced concrete frames. The out-of-plane strength of reference as-built specimens with …

Different loading conditions cause different tensile stress patterns in masonry structures.
Several studies related to masonry behavior use indirect tensile tests to obtain that value …

The safety culvert composed of hollow high-performance concrete blocks is designed to
reduce the risk of injury in the event of a collision. This work presents a new design with an …

En esta investigación se estudió el comportamiento a compresión uniaxial de mampostería
elaborada con bloques1 huecos de concreto, utilizados en el estado de Nuevo León …

In this paper a numerical study is presented to evaluate the masonry partitions walls
susceptibility to crack due to vertical deformation of concrete structures. Common solutions …
