Shear Strength of Partially Grouted (PG) Masonry Shear Walls: Experimental and Analytical Studies
DownloadFall 2023
When subjected to in-plane loads, the shear behaviour of partially grouted (PG) masonry shear walls is complex due to the heterogeneous and anisotropic nature of the masonry materials and the nonlinear interactions among their constituents. For instance, insufficient shear strength will lead to a...

Statistical Prediction Methods for the In-Plane Shear Strength of Partially Grouted Masonry Walls
DownloadSpring 2021
The behaviour of partially grouted masonry shear walls is complex due to their anisotropic nature and the nonlinear interactions between blocks, mortar, grouted cells, ungrouted cells and steel reinforcement. Currently available code- and research-based shear strength equations give highly...
