Failure Hypothesis for Masonry Shear Walls
Publication: Journal of the Structural Division
Volume 102, Issue 3
Abstract
Various failure hypotheses for wall panels subjected simultaneously to diagonal compressive load and to vertical compressive edge load are compared with the results of 32 tests on four types of brick masonry walls which were published elsewhere. It is concluded that failure can occur by joint separation or by splitting. A failure hypothesis is advanced which is shown to be in good agreement with the test results examined.
