Abstract

A test database of the compressive strength of masonry units and masonry prisms has been developed through a detailed literature review. The test results are compared with the compressive strength of similar masonry walls/prisms predicted by the design equations of the Australian masonry standard. It can be seen that the design equations of the Australian masonry standard often overpredict the compressive strength of masonry. A simple equation developed through a regression analysis of the test results is proposed, which can be useful in estimating the compressive strength of masonry from the compressive strength of the unit.
