Apstrakt:

Over the past fifteen years, ETH Zurich has conducted an extensive series of static-cyclic shear tests on various masonry elements, including triplets, wallettes, and full-scale unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. These tests encompassed configurations both with and without soft layer membranes (see pictures below) strategically placed in the bed joint to induce sliding. From this research emerged the concept of the multi-layer bottom bed joint, featuring a core soft layer flanked by two layers of extruded elastomer, positioned within the mortar joint. This presentation offers an overview of the experimental work undertaken, detailing the development of the multi-layer bottom bed joint and its implications. Additionally, the session will provide a concise summary of key findings from other research areas within the Structural Masonry Group at ETH Zurich, including investigations into the deformation capacity of structural masonry, hybrid testing methodologies, advanced measurement techniques, and the reliability of structural masonry.
