Abstract

Perforated bricks account for 30 percent of the total production of bricks in the UK and their use is increasing. Little performance data exists on their use in prestressed brickwork beams and the authors have undertaken a series of full-scale tests to examine the influence of brick strength, mortar grade and shear span/effective depth ratio on the ultimate load behaviour of prestressed brickwork beams. This paper reports on part of their work, an evaluation of the effect of perforation pattern and area on the ultimate load behaviour.
