What is Seismic Strength of Brick Walls: Head Joints about?

This document summarizes research on the influence of mortar head joints on the in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending capacities of brick masonry walls. Tests were conducted on wall panels with and without head joints made from standard and non-standard materials. The results showed that head joints contribute 40-50% to in-plane shear capacity depending on failure mode and materials. Head joints also substantially increase out-of-plane flexural strength. However, little prior research has examined the eff
