COMPRESSIVE AND SHEAR STRENGTH OF WALLS BUILT WITH ONE OR MORE LAYERS OF LIGHTWEIGTH BLOCKS

摘要

Walls built with perforated clay blocks are becoming more and more common in practice. The compressive and shear load performances are still the object of experimentation. The compressive and shear tests, carried out in the laboratory on wall panels made up of clay blocks, help to assess the strength of panels with one or more layers.
