Prestress loss of post-tensioned clay diaphragm and fin brickwork [PDF]

, 1994
Unlike calcium silicate and concrete block masonry which undergo shrinkage with time, clay brickwork has been known to expand instead. Expansion of brick units in prestressed masonry will cause an increase in the prestressing force instead of prestress ...

Designing by Geometry. Rankine's Theorems of Transformation of Structures. [PDF]

, 2010
William John Macquorn Rankine (1820-1872) was one of the main figures in establishing engineering science in the second half of the 19th. Century. His Manual of Applied Mechanics (1858) gathers most of his contributions to strength of materials and ...

An experimental investigation of retro-reinforced clay brick arches

, 2010
This paper describes the laboratory testing of eight 2.95m span segmental profile clay brick arches. Seven of the arches were strengthened with longitudinal intrados (soffit) reinforcement; the eighth was left unreinforced as an experimental control ...

Numerical analysis of mixe-mode fracture of brickwork masonry with embedded discontinuity elements [PDF]

, 2011
One of the common pathologies of brickwork masonry structural elements and walls is the cracking associated with the differential settlements and/or excessive deflections of the slabs along the life of the structure. The scarce capacity of the masonry in

Extending a Macro-Element Approach for the Modeling of 3D Masonry Structures Under Transient Dynamic Loading

Applied Sciences
Masonry structures, particularly those used in developing countries and in historic buildings, typically consist of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls connected by timber or reinforced concrete elements. This study proposes enhancements to the existing two-

Collapse of masonry structures

, 2013
This dissertation examines the collapse of masonry structures in response to large support displacements and horizontal ground accelerations. There are two main classes of masonry structure: arches that thrust, and supporting elements, such as walls and buttresses, which resist the thrust.
