Calculation of the compressive bearing capacity of masonry

masonry structures;  Compression members;  bearing capacity;  Calculation method

On the basis of the existing test data of the compressive bearing capacity of masonry, the stress-strain relationship considering the eccentric compression characteristics of masonry is proposed, the flat section assumption and equilibrium relationship are used, and the local compression of masonry is considered, and the additional eccentricity is used to consider the longitudinal bending influence, and the calculation formula of compressive bearing capacity is established, which can be coordinated with the eccentric influence coefficient and longitudinal bending coefficient, which has the advantages of simple calculation, clear concept and wide range of application, and the calculation results are in good agreement with the test results. It also has reference value for the calculation of local compressive bearing capacity of masonry.
