A finite-element-based approach to quantify the impact of bed joint reinforcement on the compressive strength of vertically perforated clay block masonry
Abstract
Since lateral tensile stresses trigger failure of vertically perforated clay block masonry under vertical loading, reinforcement of the bed joints introduces a new way to improve the vertical resistance of masonry. The aim of this work is to estimate the feasible increase of the vertical compressive strength by means of the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM). Using a unit cell approach and a stochastic strength distribution, the increase of...
