Abstract: The paper presents the results of comparative investigations of flexural strength of unreinforced and reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) masonry. The plane of masonry failure was perpendicular to the bed joints plane. Reinforcement in the form of steel wire, glass, and basalt fibers placed in masonry bed joints influenced the higher flexural strength and crack resistance of masonry specimens. Reinforced masonry showed plastic nature after cracking allowing for large horizontal displacements and transferring the substantial loads perpendicular to the surface of masonry in relation to the unreinforced masonry. For most reinforced masonry specimens, the strengthening after cracking was observed which means that the maximum value of load occurred in the cracked masonry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
