Uniaxial Compressive Strength and Stiffness of Field-Extracted and Laboratory-Constructed Masonry Prisms
Masonry material characteristics such as compression stress-strain behavior and the relationships between brick, mortar, and masonry compressive strengths are required for the detailed analysis and assessment of masonry structures. These properties have been investigated previously, but most past studies were laboratory based and did not include within their scope the testing of existing masonry buildings. This study aimed to characterize the compressive strength and the compression stress-strain relationship of vintage clay brick masonry used in New Zealand unreinforced masonry (URM)-bearing wall buildings that were generally constructed between 1880 and 1940. Testing was performed on 45 masonry prisms that were extracted from eight New Zealand historic URM buildings and on 75 masonry prisms that were constructed in the laboratory using 14 different brick/mortar combinations. It was found that the laboratory-constructed sample test results adequately replicated those from the field-extracted samples, and predictive equations and a numerical compression stress-strain model for use in the detailed seismic assessment of URM buildings were developed based on the experimental results.
