Abstract
This paper presents a research of influence of horizontal reinforcement on compressive and shear strength of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) masonry. Specimens were tested according to guidelines of EN 1052-1 and ASTM ES519-81 code in case of compression and shear test respectively. Reinforcement in the form of strips of mesh rolled out from a roll, consists of steel cords with an interwoven fiberglass roving was used. The influence of this type of reinforcement was also compared with the results of tests of AAC masonry walls without reinforcement, reinforced with truss type reinforcement and reinforced with synthetic mesh respectively.
