Stress–Strain Analysis of Hollow Concrete Blocks Masonry Prisms

Abstract

AbstractIn the structural response of masonry prisms under compression, the relationship between the unit compressive strength and the bedding mortar determines, in addition to its behavior, its form of failure. Research has shown that, depending on the ...Practical ApplicationsIn Cuba, the masonry structure based on load-bearing walls constitutes one of the most used structural typologies. The most widespread type of unit is the hollow concrete block, with a wide variability in terms of its geometric ...
