The Shear Behaviour of Brickwork Bed Joints
Proceedings of the British Ceramic Society, (30), pp 101-109
01 Jan 1982
Abstract
The results of 121 shear tests of brick masonry joints with and without compression normal to the bed Joints are reported. The influences of mortar type, physical properties of the brick, relative humidity and mortar interlocking were studied. The initial rate of absorption of the brick and the relative humidity were significant parameters. Existing hypotheses for failure under combined shear and compression loading were evaluated. As the level of precornpression increased shear strength increased in a nonlinear manner and the coefficients of friction decreased.
