MASTER FILS –YEAR II

Masonry structures

1. Mechanical properties of masonry, materials, design values for mechanical properties of

masonry

2. Behavior of masonry structures

- Out of plan loading: key factors, causes, models design according to Romanian
Code P100/2013

- In plane behavior: failure modes of a masonry panel: mechanism, explanations

3. Design of masonry structural walls : design principles: design model for vertical loads,
eccentricities, design model for horizontal forces, effective area - ideal area

4. Axial design compression strength of masonry structures: for unreinforced masonry and
confined masonry – basic notions, explanations, parameters

5. Design strength due to compression and bending of structural walls for unreinforced
masonry and confined masonry – basic notions, explanations, parameters, details

6. Shear design strength for masonry structural walls

-Slip strength in horizontal bed joints
- Behavior in the absence of seismic forces, factors and values involved in the process
-Behavior in the presence of seismic forces, factors and values involved in the process

7. Shear design strength for masonry structural walls

Shear strength in inclined sections, factors and values involved in the process,
in the absence and presence of seismic forces
