![]() On présente ici une étude expérimentale de l'adhérence en flexion de maçonneries composées de blocs différents confectionnés à partir de divers mortiers. It has been found that for each type of masonry unit, an optimum moisture content exists, beyond which the flexural bond strength falls off quickly. The moisture content of the masonry unit at the time of casting has displayed significant influence on the flexural bond strength of the masonry. It has been found that combination mortars, such as soil-cement mortar and cement-lime mortar, lead to better bond strength compared to cement mortars. Increases in mortar strength lead to increased flexural bond strength for cement mortar, irrespective of the type of masonry unit. The effect of the masonry unit's moisture content on flexural bond strength has also been studied. The effect of mortar composition and strength on the masonry's flexural bond strength using three types of masonry units (stabilized mud blocks, stabilized soil-sand blocks and burnt brick) has been examined. Flexural bond strength of masonry has been determined by testing stack-bonded prisms using a modified bond wrench test set-up. This paper deals with an experimental study on flexural bond strength of masonry using various blocks in combination with different mortars.
