PAEZ MORENO, Diego Fernando; PARRA ROJAS, Sonia Ximena y MONTANA GUTIERREZ, Carlos Andrés. Structural alternative of horizontal reinforcement in masonry walls. Rev. ing. univ. Medellin [online]. 2009, vol.8, n.14, pp.51-69. ISSN 1692-3324.
Implementation of horizontal reinforcement in masonry walls with solid cooked clay bricks is a commonly used technique in several countries. This article is intended to analyze masonry walls representatives of Tunja City, with implementation of small steel bars as an alternative of horizontal reinforcement. This study involves definition of types of materials to be used, characteristics of walls to be tested, and variables which should be applied in both walls and during the execution of the diagonal compression test which defines the types of walls with own characteristics of reinforcement. Results from individual and general behavior analysis process of masonry walls subject to diagonal compression tests allow identifying variation of shear stress for each kind of wall, in relation to reinforcement used in several models and failure typology.
Palabras clave : masonry; diagonal compression test; horizontal reinforcement; small steel bars; shear stress.
