Abstract:

The results of experimental researches of the tensile strength of masonry in splitting at angles of 0, 45, 90° to the horizontal mortar joints have been presented. The experimental dependences of the tensile strength of masonry on the angle of the compressive force to the horizontal mortar joints for different values of the strength of masonry mortar and different types of masonry elements have been obtained.
