In this work, the horizontal failure loads acting in the wall plane and the shear strengths of the walls constructed using solid batch bricks are studied by considering various types of bond arrangements and the results are discussed. For this purpose the samples are produced using simple running bond and polonez bond. In the experimental study is carried out using the procedure proposed in ASTM 1391-81 for the standard shear stress of masonry walls. The observed behavior of the experimental samples and the cracks...

In this study, behaviors of wall samples produced from solid batch bricks were investigated under horizontal loads using various types of bond. Fort his aim six samples that contain three samples from each one, whose dimensions are 60*60 cm, were prepared. Hatch bond and running bond types were used while preparing the samples. Produced masonry wall samples were failure using experimental technique of standard shear strengths. The observed behavior of the experimental samples and the cracks occurred are studied, h...
