ABSTRACT Interaction curves for masonry walls supported on all four edges subject to multi-directional loading has recently been reported by the authors (Noor-E-Khuda et al., 2018). Load bearing URM walls [...]

ABSTRACT Contact surface unevenness of the dry-stackable, interlocking blocks adversely affects the constructability of the drystack system. This paper presents the contact surface characteristics of these blocks and strategies for [...]

ABSTRACT Application of auxetic materials in automobile and biomedical engineering is widely reported and their usage in civil engineering is emerging. This paper reports the manufacturing and characterising of cementitious [...]

ABSTRACT Masonry bond is affected by many parameters such as the type of mortar used, the techniques of dispersion of mortar and the surface texture of the concrete blocks. Additionally [...]

ABSTRACT A combined experimental and numerical program was conducted to study the in-plane shear behaviour of hollow concrete masonry panels containing reinforced grout cores. This paper is focused on the [...]

ABSTRACT This paper presents an experimental investigation of the flexural and shear bond characteristics of thin layer polymer cement mortared concrete masonry. It is well known that the bond characteristics [...]
