Influence of Horizontal Reinforcement on Shear Resistance of Concrete Block Masonry Walls
The tests determined the effect of varying the amount and distribution of horizontal reinforcement on the in-plane shear resistance of concrete masonry walls. Thirteen wall specimens were constructed with hollow concrete block, and varying amounts of reinforcement in the bed joints and in grouted bond beams. The walls were subjected to reversed cyclic, in-plane lateral loads and essentially a constant axial compressive load. The blocks had an average gross area unit strength of approximately 1800 psi. Preliminary results from these tests show small amounts of horizontal reinforcement are effective in increasing post-cracking strength; in-plane shear strength does not increase proportionately with increasing amounts of horizontal reinforcement; and bed joint reinforcement placed in alternating courses is as effective in increasing in-plane shear strength as when placed in every course.
