Abstract
Strut & Tie (S-T) models are used quite commonly for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures and in the calculation of masonry structures. Creating the S-T model of the confined masonry is slightly different from models of reinforced concrete or models of classic masonry structures. These models should take into account different stiffness of concrete and masonry. This article proposes a Strut & Tie model for the analysis of confined masonry. The results of calculations were compared with the results of tests of full scale masonry walls with and without opening. Good compliance of the calculation results of S-T models with the test results was obtained.
Highlights
Strut & Tie (S-T) models are commonly used for the analysis of confined walls subject to seismic results [1,2,3,4,5,6]
This paper presents the concept of building Strut & Tie models for confined masonry made of autoclaved aerated concrete
Preparing the strut-and-tie model of the confined masonry is different from preparing such models for reinforced concrete or traditional masonry structures
Summary
Strut & Tie (S-T) models are commonly used for the analysis of confined walls subject to seismic results [1,2,3,4,5,6]. Such models can be, used to analyse monotonically loaded walls [7]. Strut & Tie models are prepared by replacing compression and tensile face of the structure with struts and ties. Assuming changes of these elements is relatively easy for areas B, but not so evident in the case of areas D. The obtained values of load capacity were compared with results from testing confined solid walls in compression, walls with an opening and additional confining cores at the opening
