Visualization of crack propagation in brick masonry couplets under compression Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The constituent materials of masonry include different brick and mortar types with various properties. The difference in the stiffness properties of these materials influence the observed failure modes under compression. The general hypothesis of the failure mechanisms in brick masonry under compressive loading relies on the difference between the Young's modulus of brick and mortar. The aim of this paper is to visually confirm or question ...
Observation of crack initiation zone in brick masonry couplets under compression using X-ray microfocus computed tomography and digital image correlation Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven
The constituent materials of masonry include different brick and mortar types with various properties. The difference in the stiffness properties of these materials influence the observed failure modes under compression. The general theory of the failure mechanisms in brick masonry under compressive loading relies on the difference between the relative elastic modulus of brick and mortar. The aim of this paper is to visually examine the above ...
