  • Description
    • The thin layer mortared concrete masonry is an emerging construction system. Therefore, there exists a need for data on the response of this form of masonry construction subject to various states of stress so that thin layer mortared masonry could be practiced as a legitimate structural system. This PhD aims at developing datasets for thin layer mortared concrete masonry through systematic experimental and numerical studies. A range of concrete units (Solid, full size hollow and half scale) with varying dimensions and sizes have been used to construct thin layer mortared concrete masonry specimens to truly reflect the field practices. A micro finite element model incorporating the contact surfaces between the units and mortar layers has been used to link the data from specimens of different constructs...
