Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present the influence of different reinforcement directions (horizontal, vertical and the combination of the two) on the shear resistance, failure modes and crack pattern of solid masonry walls. In order to investigate the effect of vertical reinforcement a new type of bonding of bricks was developed. The favorable influence of mixed reinforcement is clearly shown. The crack pattern modification effect and the shear capacity enhancement of reinforcement are unambiguously proved. Force-displacement diagrams, extreme horizontal loads applied and maximum displacements at the top are compared and evaluated for all specimens.
