Abstrait:

Solid brick masonry poses challenges in predicting compressive strength due to its non-homogeneous and anisotropic nature, compounded by variations in the properties of the constituent bricks and mortar. This research addresses this issue through secondary analysis and examining the interplay between brick-and-mortar compressive strengths. Contrary to existing empirical equations for predicting masonry compressive strength, regression analysis was conducted on test specimens categorized into two groups based on the relative strength of the constitutive materials: Group 1, masonry specimens with bricks stronger than mortar (fb > fj), and Group 2, specimens where the mortar has higher compressive strength than the bricks (fj > fb). Additionally, the calculated impact of factors like the slenderness ratio and mortar-to-brick joint thickness ratio on masonry compressive strength highlights the need for more precise compressive strength predictions. The results emphasize the importance of considering the individual contributions of bricks and mortar to the overall compressive strength, shedding light on how these components affect structural behavior.
