Support Conditions

The Canadian masonry design standard appears to be overly conservative in determining the capacity of concrete block walls with slenderness ratios greater than 30. When assessing the potential for buckling of a masonry wall according to Euler buckling criteria, the effective height is determined in part from the end supports. In Euler theory only pinned, fixed and free support conditions are considered, and the Canadian standard considers the support conditions to be hinged, elastic or stiff. For a partially reinforced masonry wall a true hinged base support is expected to be difficult to achieve, as the width of the concrete block restrains rotation. The effect of the base support conditions on the deflected shape of partially grouted block walls was investigated under axial and out-of-plane loading. The results of this testing were compared with calculations based on the Canadian masonry standard. It becomes clear that the standard is overly conservative in many cases and the design of slender walls needs to be re-examined.

Un-reinforced masonry (URM) structures may fail and collapse under out-of-plane loads generated by seismic forces or explosions. Adding a ferrocement overlay onto the URM walls is an effective solution in increasing the ultimate load capacity and ductility. This paper deals with the numerical and experimental studies on the out-of-plane behavior of un-reinforced masonry walls strengthened with ferrocement. The material parameters considered are the volume fraction of reinforcement and the loading area. A numerical model was proposed to simulate the experimental results. The employed material model for masonry wall is based on the theory of Drucker-Prager plasticity taking into account the tension softening behavior, while the ferrocement is modeled as a composite material with linear strain hardening followed by ideal plasticity. The proposed model simulates the load-deflection behavior of the strengthened wall well.
