The physical properties of the units and mortar affect the bond between them, as well as the
mechanical performance of the masonry. The initial absorption rate of brick units during the …

Although structures have been built from masonry for many years, little is still known about
the behaviour of a wall subject to in-plane shear. This is particularly true of partially grouted …

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

It is believed that the use of mortars based on air lime in the construction and renovation of
brick buildings has a number of advantages, especially those closely related to the durability …

According to EN 1996 Part 1-1, the flexural strength of masonry could be estimated based
on information related mainly to the compressive strength of the mortar and the type of …

Masonry structures are used ubiquitisly all over the world from many years ago till today.
However, there are still lots of unknowns in terms of their behavior. These ambiguities …

Las propiedades físicas de las unidades (ladrillos) y el mortero afectan a la adherencia
entre ellos, así como el rendimiento mecánico de la albañilería. Particularmente, para las …
