Strength Performance of Unreinforced Brick Masonry Walls under Flexo-Compression Load. Analytical Methods
The structure of many historical buildings relies on unreinforced masonry load-bearing walls. In the case of large slenderness or significant eccentricity of the vertical compressive loads the mechanism formation failure mode is likely. Considering the second order bending effects and the tensile strength of the masonry is essential to accurately calculate the load-bearing capacity of these structures, which is required for maintenance tasks. An analytical methodology has proposed with this aim. This original method, the Southwell plot method and the formulations from two standard codes (ACI-530 and Eurocode-6) are applied to calculate the resistance of 18 experimentally tested walls to conclude that the proposed methodology brings correct results, the standards are conservative and the Southwell plot method is the most suitable for the analysis of the considered cases but it is not always applicable.
