摘要: Codes of Practice relate modulus elasticity to characteristic strength or specified compressive masonry, which is dependent on unit and mortar strength. In addition, there are other methods for estimating masonry from only the unit. This chapter reviews stress–strain behaviour identifies factors influencing before considering, independently, particular elastic properties Relationships developed in terms their respective strengths incorporating them composite models Chapter 3. The important influences curing conditions application load water absorption quantified improved estimates masonry. All prediction compared accuracies assessed.
