An experimental program was devised to assess the influence of the compressive strength of the grout on the compressive strength of masonry constructed with high-strength concrete masonry units. Three different compressive ...

Masonry walls and columns are common structural members that typically resist compressive loads, with a number of such members being required to resist combined axial load and out-of-plane bending due to direct out-of-plane ...

The results of a combined experimental program and numerical modeling program to evaluate the behavior of ungrouted hollow concrete blocks prisms under uniaxial compression are addressed. In the numerical program, three ...

An experimental program on reinforced concrete masonry beams was conducted aiming to better understand the behavior of reinforced masonry beams. The beams were designed to fail in flexure, assessing cracking patterns, ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanical behavior of concrete blocks and prisms when performing axial compression tests within the Brazilian base of knowledge, intending to foment data of this kind for a ...

Although the use of high strength concrete blocks for the construction of tall buildings is becoming common in Brazil, their mechanical properties and behavior are not fully understood. The literature shows a gap in ...

The main purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the behavior of clay prisms grouted, partially grouted and ungrouted under compression loads in order to analyze the influence and performance of the grout, as well as ...

Structural masonry is a constructive system very present in the Brazilian civil construction and continues to growing and updated constantly with new studies and technologies. In this work, the prism/block relationship ...

In the Metropolitan Region of Recife some buildings had been constructed where the masonry fulfills function structural been, however, composed of blocks originally confectioned for non load-bearing masonry. This constructive ...
