Abstract text:
Compressive strength values obtained on concrete masonry units with vertical circular holes in comparisons with compressive strength values obtained on concrete masonry units with circular holes filled with mortar are presented. The experimental program was conducted at the Laboratory of composite Materials in frame of Faculty of Civil Engineering and Building Services, “Ghorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi. The authors present a comparison of the compressive strengths. The peak values of principal stresses have been checked by a numerical modelling.
Key Words:
concrete masonry units (CMU), vertical circular holes (VCH), compressive strength, finite element analysis (FEA)
