  • Influence of modified mortars on mechanical properties of masonry
    Žarnić, Roko ...
    A set of tests was accomplished in order to get better insight into the basic mechanical properties of masonry made of normal solid clay bricks and different type of mortars. The basic mortars were ... lime mortar, lime-cement mortar and cement mortar. For the study of grade effect differently graded sand was used in mortars. Polypropylene fibres, glass fibre meshes and several types of cement additives modified the basic mortars. Three types of tests were performed. Masonry wallettes were tested both in compression and diagonally in tension. Horizontal mortar joints were tested by bond wrench test. A significant influence of sand grade on bond strength was observed. It was found that the most effective way to increase shear strength is to add glass fibre mesh to mortar joints made of fine graded sand.
