In-Plane Shear Investigation On Masonry Walls, Shane Chandler Morrison
In-Plane Shear Investigation On Masonry Walls, Shane Chandler Morrison
Doctoral Dissertations
Analysis has been performed on approximately 200 shear walls of various masonry types, reinforcement, and grouting scenarios to determine the trends of various wall parameters to strength. The database is assembled from that belonging to researchers over the last 30 years.
Strut-and-tie methods from current concrete codes are employed and new methods proposed to calculate the in-plane shear strength of masonry walls. In addition, a simplified method based upon strut-and-tie methodology is presented to calculate the masonry contribution to the in-plane strength of these walls, with contributions from axial load and horizontal reinforcement based upon past data and efficiency of …
