An analytical investigation is carried out to evaluate the influence of brick bond types in in-plane behavior of brick masonry. Header, Stretcher, and English bonds are chosen for numerical simulation for in-plane loading. For numerical modeling, simplified micro-modeling approach is adopted using ...
Agood bondcan be the one that ensures optimum interlocking, avoids continuity of vertical joints throughout the height of wall and at the same time looks good; I mean aesthetically. The following explained parameters would prevail in a wall masonry with good arrangement of bricks. These are also...
Face brick, made from clay, is used in exposed exterior and interior masonry walls and in architectural applications where the size, color, and texture of the brick are especially important. Like common brick, face brick comes in many varieties. Calcium silicate brick, made of sand and lime, ...
Four different types of clay brick are considered, where the difference between bricks is not only due on their strength but also on their surface texture. The second focus point of the experimental campaign is the effect of mortar joint on the GFRP-masonry panel bond. A total number of 16...
Thermal analysis allows for classification of historic mortars in both lime and hydraulic types. Mineralogical data, concerning fabrication and texture, along with thermal analysis provide criteria on specific classification, for: typical lime, crushed brick鈥搇ime, cementitious, rubble masonry, hot lime...
