Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Compressive Strength of Clay Brick Walls Tests of walls built of sand-lime brick have been made and the results reported in Technologic Paper no. 276. The present paper reports and discusses the results of the tests on clay brick masonry. In this report walls numbered 1 to 17 are of such construction as to permit comparison with those built of sand-lime brick, but it should be noted that the sand-lime brick used were Of slightly higher coma pressive strength than those used in the construction of walls 1 to 17, inclusive. The effect Of brick strength on wall strength is dis cussed herein. The tests on masonry Of cement brick have not yet (1929) been made. The scope Of this investigation has been extended much beyond the original plan, for it seemed desirable to discover, if possible, some of the factors which influence or measure masonry strength. It is believed that much pertinent information, not heretofore known and analyzed, has been disclosed and that this information may be useful to engineers and architects and to the construction industry generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation aims to advance the understanding of unbonded post-tensioned masonry wall systems. Previous research has shown that unbonded post-tensioned masonry walls can adequately resist in-plane loading but their possible use in regions of high seismic activity has not been widely accepted. The research described in this dissertation focuses primarily on clay brick masonry. The first study is on the in-plane cyclic behavior of unbonded post-tensioned masonry walls with openings. Openings can interrupt the standard path of the compression strut. The compression strut is how unbonded post-tensioned masonry walls distribute the lateral load to the foundation, and without it the wall can become unstable. The results show that the size and location of the opening has a major effect of the overall response of the wall. As the opening size increases the compression strut becomes more unstable. Experimental studies involved the construction and testing of three walls. A parametric study was conducted to determine the effect of opening size and aspect ratio on the behavior of unbonded post-tensioned masonry walls with openings. Several tables are proposed for the initial design of these walls depending on the opening size and aspect ratio of the wall. The latter part of the dissertation focuses on the Direct Displacement-Based Design (DDBD) of unbonded post-tensioned clay brick masonry walls. A unique problem of the use of clay brick masonry walls arose and was studied. Because clay brick masonry and the concrete foundation's Young moduli are different, the interaction between the two surfaces was analyzed. It is shown that the foundation locally confines the clay brick masonry, thereby increasing its compressive strength. Without including this confinement, effect the lateral resisting strength is greatly underestimated. Previous methods are modified to predict the compressive strength of clay brick masonry at the wall/foundation interface. The method is verified a.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, a considerable amount of experimental and analytical research on the seismic behaviour of masonry walls and buildings has been carried out. The investigations resulted in the development of methods for seismic analysis and design, as well as new technologies and construction systems. After many centuries of traditional use and decades of allowable stress design, clear concepts for limit state verification of masonry buildings under earthquake loading have recently been introduced in codes of practice.Although this book is not a review of the state-of-the-art of masonry structures in earthquake zones, an attempt has been made to balance the discussion on recent code requirements, state-of-the-art methods of earthquake-resistant design and the author's research work, in order to render the book useful for a broader application in design practice. An attempt has also been made to present, in a condensed but easy to understand way, all the information needed for earthquake-resistant design of masonry buildings constructed using traditional systems. The basic concepts of limit state verification are presented and equations for seismic resistance verification of masonry walls of all types of construction, (unreinforced, confined and reinforced) as well as masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames, are addressed. A method for seismic resistance verification, compatible with recent code requirements, is also discussed. In all cases, experimental results are used to explain the proposed methods and equations.An important part of this book is dedicated to the discussion of the problems of repair, retrofit and rehabilitation of existing masonry buildings, including historical structures in urban centres. Methods of strengthening masonry walls as well as improving the structural integrity of existing buildings are described in detail. Wherever possible, experimental evidence regarding the effectiveness of the proposed strengthening methods is given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservation in the built environment raises fundamental questions which have been debated for centuries - what is worth preserving, how is it possible, why is it important? This book takes a modern approach to the meaning of a heritage structure and its conservation. The historical evolution of conservation is briefly addressed, considering prominent individuals and cases; along with the history of construction, focusing on materials and related structural elements, with insight on the sizing rules adopted by masons. This explains structural decisions made during the construction process and allows comparison of scientific theories from the 18th century to modern understanding of limit analysis. Damage and collapse mechanisms for masonry construction, as the most widespread structural form for historical buildings, is described. Excess permanent loading and settlement is differentiated from environmental and anthropogenic actions such as earthquake or incorrect intervention. The team of authors brings together unique expertise, with high level research and leading practice with archetypical cases from around the world. The book addresses the history of conservation by exploring materials and structures and the history of construction and damage, so it is of value to students and professionals in civil engineering and architecture, as well as archaeologists and art historians.

This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One distinct feature of human society since the dawn of civilization is the systematic use of inorganic building materials, such as natural stone, unburnt and burnt soil, adobe and brick, inorganic binders like lime and cement, and reinforced concrete. Our heritage has cultural, architectural and technological value and preserving such structures is a key issue today. Planners and conservation scientists need detailed site surveys and analyses to create a database that will serve to guide subsequent actions. One factor in this knowledge base is an understanding of how historic materials were prepared and the crucial properties that influence their long-term behaviour. Any assessment of the way such materials perform must crucially be based on an understanding of the methods used for their analysis. The editors here add to the knowledge base treating the materials used in historic structures, their properties, technology of use and conservation, and their performance in a changing environment. The book draws together 18 chapters dealing with the inorganic materials used in historic structures, such as adobe, brick, stone, mortars, concrete and plasters. The approach is complex, covering material characterisation as well as several case studies of historic structures from Europe, including Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Scotland, Slovenia and Spain, and the My Sõn Temples in Vietnam. An equally important component of the book covers the analysis of materials, together with a treatment of sustainable development, such as the protection of monuments from earthquakes and climate change. The authors are all leading international experts, drawn from a variety of backgrounds: architecture, civil engineering, conservation science, geology and material science, with close links to professional organisations such as ICOMOS or universities and research centres throughout Europe. Audience: This book will be of interest to geologists, engineers, restorers, consulting engineers, designers and other professionals dealing with cultural heritage and sustainable development. Also graduate students in applied geo-science (mineralogy, geochemistry, petrology), architecture and civil engineering will find interesting information in this book.
