Determinación experimental de la resistencia asociada a la falla por tracción diagonal de dos tipos de mampostería simple: bloque y ladrillo, para ser usado en modelos computacionales

Abstract

This project is aimed to determine the compressive strength because of diagonal traction ( ), of two types of simple masonry (blocks made of concrete and bricks), following the theory which SeismoStruct contemplates the behavior of masonry panels with, this strength is required to be used in several Computer applications. This ideology proposes a mathematical model composed of several variables, the most important is the shear strength of the masonry ( ), which is emphasized to be obtained by experimentation; therefore, it makes the test of diagonal compression necessary. The compressive strenght was obtained analytically based on the literature of Crisafulli. All the values obtained for the properties of Masonry components and wall samples were compared, according to these results, the most suitable values for a construction has been suggested. Differences were established between experimental and analytical compression strength.
