Experimental evaluation and probabilistic analysis of the masonry veneer wall tie characteristics
Brick and Block Masonry - From Historical to Sustainable Masonry, 2020 : Wall tie strengths and stiffnesses are not constant for all ties in a masonry veneer wall system. This paper uses an Australian standard tie calibration experimental approach to delve into wall-tie probabilistic characterisation by estimating the mean,

Dynamic performance of brick masonry veneer panels
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1979 Dynamic tests on seven unreinforced and two reinforced brick masonry veneer panels are reported. The panels, tied to conventional timber-frame backings, were subjected to inertial loading by sinusoidal accelerations within the expected range of seismic frequencies.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of
