Experimental Study on Compressive Property of New Concrete Block Masonry with Multi-Row Cores

Abstract:

With the development of energy-saving in buildings, new energy-saving block masonry with multi-row cores is commonly used. In this paper, from the study of typical bearing capacity of multi hole concrete block masonry of combining multiple rows of holes, holes in the multi block wall masonry capacity test of heat insulation material characteristics. Test results show that, in the process of multi hole masonry brittle failure characteristics, built-in straw block in the insulation at the same time, can improve the compressive strength of masonry; masonry local diffusion mechanism under the action of stress is significant; and offer the engineering measures.
