Estimate models of compression strength of prisms from structural masonry components
Abstract This work proposes models to estimate the resistance of hollow and grouted concrete blocks prisms based on the compressive strength of their components. A database composed of 27,426 tests results on hollow and grouted prisms, mortar, grout and concrete blocks was assessed, grouped into 87...

| description | Abstract This work proposes models to estimate the resistance of hollow and grouted concrete blocks prisms based on the compressive strength of their components. A database composed of 27,426 tests results on hollow and grouted prisms, mortar, grout and concrete blocks was assessed, grouped into 875 samples. Different statistical analysis models were proposed, and the best model was selected for each predetermined block resistance range. The blocks strength r ranges are Range 1 (up to 8 MPa), Range 2 (from 8 to 18 MPa) and Range 3 (above of 18 MPa). An adjustment factor of 95% confidence was calculated for each model. When comparing the results of the models with the results estimated by the design codes, it was observed that, in general, the estimates of the models of hollow and grouted prisms were similar to those of prism resistance of ABNT NBR 16868-1 (2020), except for the Range 3 resistance, in which the code is more conservative, and the proposed model with the intrinsic adjustment factor estimated values lower than those proposed by the norm. Regarding the international standards, AS-3700 (2017), TMS 602 (2021) and CSA S304 (2014) presented more conservative estimates, while Eurocode 6 (2020) adapted better to the results of the proposed models. Models considered as safe are proposed, based on the hundreds of analyzed samples, allowing estimating the hollow and grouted prism strength from their components strengths for concrete blocks structural masonry. |
