This paper presents the results of a study on the out-of-plane seismic behavior of confined masonry walls. The former was determined using the unidirectional strut method and the latter using a plastic analysis. Analytical strengths of confined walls are determined using this method. Simulation more...
Brick masonry laid with cement mortar is stronger and more durable than that laid, with lime mortar. Mortar used should be as stiff as possible. All the joints should be of equal thickness and the ‘thickness of each should not exceed 0.5 to 1 cm.Behaviour and strength assessment of masonry pris more...
When applied over non-uniform areas, this product provides a smooth or textured surface that can be left as a finished decorative coating. This product is suitable for both interior and exterior applications. I love how the colors play off the surrounding landscape rock. Ideal for projects under more...

We never see a cement walk, wall or slab. Why are so many buildings invariably built of masonry? No other material leaves as lasting an impression of strength, quality and substance as that conveyed by brick, block and stone. Stucco is a material made of an aggregate, a binder, and water which is a more...

Panels should be at least 4’x6’. The existing masonry mortars with traditional light-weight fillers have low grade strength, and their do not gain the minimum required strength at hardening at low temperatures. Heating prepackaged materials such as cement and hydrated lime has long been a prob more...
The material hose may include various types of fittings and couplings that connect to the pump or any line reducers at the pump discharge. Using rocks larger than this size in the material could clog the pump and material hose. Lightweight and portable for smaller jobs. Conventional grout is speci more...
The slenderness ratio, in turn, depends upon the effective height (or length) and the effective thickness of the wall or column. This video talks about the constituents of the concrete,. It explains the meaning of characteristic strength and target mean strength…Verifying Compressive Strength more...
It is necessary for the pore size of the brick material to be greater than 0.05 mm for a mechanical bond to be formed, and also for the cement to be properly hydrated behind the ettringite layer, despite the withdrawal of some of the water by suction from the brick. Shear Strength Criteria and Re more...
One of the primary objectives of the current study was to evaluate the longitudinal force exerted on the bridge due to increased axle loads of freight wagons. Three-dimensional numerical modeling and analysis was carried out to identify the critical locations for fixing the flat jacks for evaluati more...
This bond permits better alignment and as such it is used for walls curved on plan. A wall having continuous vertical joints does not act as a homogeneous mass to distribute the superimposed load. Defective arrangement of bricks reduces the strength and durability of the structure. Brick BondsSpe more...
