This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on blockwork masonry prisms to study the effect on their compressive strength and behaviour of the following factors: (a) concrete infill and mortar strengths; (b) specimen height-to-thickness ratio; (c) specimen length-to-thickness ratio; (d) mortar joint thickness; (e) bond between the block and concrete infill.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
