Influence of Mortar Bedding on Masonry Prism Behavior
The results from compression tests of seventy ungrouted, hollow, concrete block masonry prisms are presented. The prisms are three-high, stack-bonded assemblages. The varied parameters in the investigation include block strength, mortar type, and mortar bedding type (area). The resulting data include the ultimate strength of the prisms and strains measured at various locations on each prism. Major observations of prism behavior are that mortar type has a neglible influence on prism behavior, block strength affects prism ultimate strength in proportion to its own ultimate strength variation, and mortar bedding type significantly affects ultimate strength, its variability, strain distributions, and mode of failure. It is recommended that faceshell bedded prisms not be used as quality control samples for masonry construction because of their disturbed strain fields and higher variability of test data.
