Influence of bed joint orientation on interlocking grouted stabilised mud-flyash brick masonry under cyclic compressive loading
Maqsud E. Nazar and S. N. Sinha

 
Abstract
    This paper describes a series of laboratory tests carried out to evaluate the influence of bed joint orientation on interlocking grouted stabilised mud-flyash brick masonry under uniaxial cyclic compressive loading. Five cases of loading at 0o, 22.5o, 45o, 67.5o and 90o with the bed joints were considered. The brick units and masonry system developed by Prof. S.N. Sinha were used in present investigation. Eighteen specimens of size 500 mm
 
Key Words
