Abstract: An experimental investigation of the behavior of brick masonry under cyclic biaxial compressive loading is presented. The experimental investigation involved biaxial tests on 45 half‐scale brick masonry specimens. Three ...

Abstract: A generalized approach is proposed to determine the envelope, common‐point, and stability‐point curves for brick masonry in cyclic, biaxial compression. The approach uses a family of interaction curves to predict the peak ...

Abstract: Reloading and unloading stress‐strain curves of brick masonry tested under uniaxial cyclic compressive loadings perpendicular and parallel to the bed joint are discussed. A simple mathematical model is proposed to predict ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to study the behavior of brick masonry under cyclic compressive loading. The envelope stress‐strain curve, the common point curve, and the stability point curve were established for ...
