About this document

Lec 10 by Amit is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses the shear strength of masonry structures. It explains the difference between joint shear strength and masonry shear strength, and describes the diagonal tension test used to characterize masonry shear strength. The test subjects a masonry panel to compression along the diagonal to induce tension across the diagonal and failure. A correction factor is used to determine the diagonal tensile stress at failure from the test results.
