Research of Masonry Shear Strength under Shear-Compression Action

Abstract:

The failure criteria and calculating methods of static and seismic shear strength of masonry under combined shear-compression action have been researched in this paper. According to the least energy consumption principle and the failure criteria of orthogonal anisotropic materials, the correlated formulae of masonry under combined shear-compression action are established. The correlated formulae are in good agreement with experimental results. On this basis, the calculation formulae of the static and seismic shear strength are established. The calculation formulae uniformly use the axial compression ratio as main variable to express. By analyzing examples, it shows that calculations by formulae given in this paper are in accordance with values of "Code for design of masonry structures" (GB 50003-2011) and "Code for seismic design of buildings" (GB 50011-2010). The methods in this paper may provide important references to engineering design as well as code revision.
