Experimental Study about Testing Masonry Shear Strength with Drilled Core Method

Abstract:

Key technology of testing masonry shear strength with core drilling method is that standard shear strength of masonry is determined from the shear strength of masonry core sample, while current code or specification has not provided the corresponding calculating formula. To investigate their relationship, a series of tests have been carried out. Existing test result analysis shows that standard shear strength of masonry and shear strength of masonry core sample are closely related. By means of testing data regression analysis, this work can establish the relationship formula between shear strength of single core sample and standard shear strength of masonry. This Technology can be suitable both to traditional masonry structure and to new wall materials masonry structure, especially to seismic appraiser and reinforcement calculation of masonry structure. This technology can support scientific basis to quality examination and assessment of new wall materials and analysis of engineering quality accident.
