1Table provides the mean strength of blocks (fuc). To get normalized block strengths (fb), these values are multiplied by shape factor as shown in equation (6). 2Table provides the mean strength of masonry wallet (fmc). To get normalized masonry strengths (fm), these values are multiplied by h/t ratio correction factors as shown in equation (7). 3Values provided are wet compressive strengths. However, same block type used in Venkatarama Reddy et al.[29] and dry compressive strength obtained from that before calculated the normalized compressive strength. |
