RILEM TC 127-MS: TESTS FOR MASONRY MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES Recommendations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Basically, all masonry units are suitable for tests. Randomly sample 5 masonry units for determining the moisture content. Additionally, for tests with no preload, randomly sample a further 15 masonry units for the construction of the specimens and, for tests with preload, randomly sample a further 15 masonry units per preload value for the construction of the specimens. A minimum of 3 preload values are recommended, which will require 45 masonry units. The specimens in the form of stack bonded triplets shall be built by normal bricklaying methods using masonry mortar with a consistence (slump approx. 170 mm) ensuring a good workability or following manufacturers’ instructions for thin joint mortars. Normally, 5 specimens shall be tested per preload value including zero preload.

Force Reduction Factor R for Shear Dominated Low-Rise Brick Masonry Structures
This paper presents investigation carried out, including experimental and numerical studies, on low-rise shear-dominated brick masonry structures for the calculation of force reduction factor R. Basic experimental tests were conducted on masonry constituent materials for mechancial characterization. In-plane quasi-static cyclic tests were conducted on twelve full scale brick masonry walls, to u...
متن کاملExperimental Analysis of Dynamic Effects of FRP Reinforced Masonry Vaults
An increasing interest in the preservation of historic structures has produced a need for new methods for reinforcing curved masonry structures, such as arches and vaults. These structures are generally very ancient, have geometries and materials which are poorly defined and have been exposed to long-term historical movements and actions. Consequently, they are often in need of repair or reinfo...
متن کاملBackground to a Study of Damage Mechanics in Masonry Panels
Masonry in one form or another is used in most areas of the world that are prone to interplate or intraplate earthquakes. Masonry structures constructed from traditionally fired or stone bricks have one characteristic that sets them apart from most other structures. If a masonry building is well constructed, it can last for millenniums. Research in the field of Damage Mechanics has identified t...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Masonry Structure Under Impact Loading and Comparing it with Numerical Modeling Results via Finite Element Model Updating
Given the sophisticated nature of the blast phenomenon in relation to structures, it is of significance to accurately investigate the structure behavior under blast loads. Due to its rapid and transient nature, blast loading is one of the most important dynamic loadings on the structures. Since masonry materials are widely used as the partition and bearing walls in the existing and newly-built ...
متن کاملNumerical Models for the Assessment of Historical Masonry Structures and Materials, Monitored by Acoustic Emission
The paper reviews some recent numerical applications for the interpretation and exploitation of acoustic emission (AE) monitoring results obtained from historical masonry structures and materials. Among possible numerical techniques, the finite element method and the distinct method are considered. The analyzed numerical models cover the entire scale range, from microstructure and meso-structur...
