- Description
- A pilot study was conducted to assess the accuracy and relevance of the mathematical relationship provided in Australian Standard AS3700-2011 Masonry Structures for determining the shear bond strength (cohesion) of masonry based on its flexural tensile bond strength. Flexural tensile strengths were determined using bond wrench tests in accordance with AS3700 and shear bond strengths (initial shear strengths) were determined using triplet tests in accordance with European Standard EN1052-3 for comparison with the AS3700 mathematical relationship. A range of masonry units and mortar types typical of Australian construction practice were investigated. It was found that the two properties are correlated and that the AS3700 relationship is conservative for all of the masonry combinations tested in the current study. The level of conservatism is small and so based on the results of the current study, no changes to the AS3700 provisions are recommended.
