The Strength of the Steel Bar Embedded in the Masonry Wall

Abstract:

The experimental research on the strength of the steel bar embedded in the masonry wall is presented in this paper. Six existing masonry buildings of different construction age are concerned in site test. Only the steel bar with diameter of 6mm and embedded depth of 100mm is selected as the specimen for test. Few cases of damage by the rapture of glue are found. The two failure modes as cone rapture of brick and yield of steel bar illustrate the effectiveness of the embedded steel bar. By the pull-off test and side push test, the strength of the embedded steel bar in the masonry wall is got.
