Triaxial compression tests on bedding mortar samples looking at confinement effect analysis

This paper presents an analysis of the mechanical behavior of bedding mortar samples under triaxial compression tests. When masonry is subjected to vertical loads, mechanical interactions between blocks and bedding mortar at the joints induce lateral tension and compression stresses. Thus, the morta...
