The Study of the Factors Effecting Bond Strength of Masonry

Abstract:

The results of this paper are being summarized in a series of articles categorized into the principal properties of the mortars, for example compression strength, admixtures, air-content and water cement ratio, and the impact of those properties on bond strength were analyzed. The second purpose of this article deals with the relationship between brick’s properties with bond strength. The results shown that those effecting factors mainly through make an influence on the amount of hydration products and the bonded area to determine bond strength.
