Compressive Strength Prediction Models for Fly-Ash Brick Masonry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to predict the fly-ash brick compressive strength using three easily measurable parameters such as water absorption, initial rate of absorption, and dry density. This model ...
Uncertainty in Bond Strength of Unreinforced Fly-Ash Brick Masonry
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Lateral loads such as wind and inertial forces from earthquakes are resisted by the bond strength of brick masonry structures. The consideration of uncertainty in both load and resistance capacity is vital for limit state ...
Variability in the Compressive Strength of Fly Ash Bricks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The disposal of fly ash is an environmental challenge globally, and the only viable solution for its mass disposal is its use in the construction industry, especially for brick production. Hence, the substantial growth in ...
Effect of Brick Prewetting on Masonry Bond Strength
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Masonry walls resist both in-plane and out-of-plane forces through the bond between the brick unit and mortar. Moisture content or saturation level of the brick unit at the time of construction is one of the key contributing ...
