Abstract

The purpose of this study is the improvement of the behaviors of walls constructed with masonry bricks using reinforced plaster mortars. In this study, 400 × 400 × 100 mm sized walls were constructed using 1: 2 scaled 100 × 50 × 30 mm sized masonry bricks. The walls were plastered using normal and various proportions of polypropylene and steel fiber reinforced plaster mortars and were subjected to vertical loads at 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90° angles. As a result of the experiments, attempts were made to present the strength, stiffness, and ductility of all of the walls. At the end of the study, an evaluation concerning failure envelope curve (σ - τ) obtained from test results according to plastered masonry walls types was performed. © 2013 Hakan Basaran et al.
