Comparisons between shear strength predictions of partially grouted masonry walls in Australian and international standards

摘要: The objective of this paper is to compare the in-plane shear strength partially grouted masonry walls (PG-MW) in Australian code (AS3700-2001) with other codes. This high importance because while most test experiments have been done recently - and affected codes, equations design remained relatively unchanged since 1988 (AS3700-1988). Therefore it important find out differences between provisions codes such as MSJC-2011, NZS4230-2004 S304.1-2004. These were selected they calibrated against comprehensive results. In effectiveness various parameters that influence PG-MWs investigated discussed. are also highlighted. comparison shows significant AS3700-2001 codes' expressions.
