In all blast-resistant structures (steel, concrete, or masonry) special attention should be given to the integrity of connections between structural elements up to the point of maximum response. For example, it is important to prevent premature brittle failure of welded connections to avoid stress concentrations or notches at joints in steel structures and to provide ductile reinforcement detailing in concrete/masonry structure connections. For all materials, it is recommended that connections be designed to be stronger than the connected structural members such that the more ductile member will govern the design over the more brittle connection. 

This chapter provides material properties and response criteria necessary to design facilities constructed of reinforced concrete, reinforced masonry, structural stcc and cold formed steel. Static and dynamic properties are covered for the materials used in these facilities. Allowable response criteria are covered for both...

Chemically resistant masonry structures are composed of three independent parts supporting structure, membrane fluid stop, and inner lining to protect the membrane from thermal and mechanical abuse. These three parts are essential to any economically satisfactory chemically resistant structure. This does not mean that the three functions may always require three distinct materials. The three functions may be accomplished by two materials, or even a single one. 

There are four basic principles that the engineer must keep in mind in designing a chemically-resistant masonry structure. 

When a failure occurs in an alloy vessel containing chemicals, the owner starts to investigate to learn if the correct alloy was used, if the designer mal-designed it, or if the fabricator made some error in assembling it. However, when a failure occurs in an "acid brick"-or other chemically resistant masonry-structure, the customer often abandons the concept without investigation, with a comment such as "we tried it and it didn t work." There is always a reason for a failure and if you are able to analyze the failure so as to learn the source of the trouble, there is no reason why such failure cannot be prevented in the future. 

Repeated dissolution and recrystallization of these salts leads to the mechanical disruption of the masonry structure. Since the salts will concentrate in the more porous material, either the brick or the mortar will be more seriously affected, depending on their relative porosity. 

Deterioration of brick masonry is a problem that has worried man ever since the first brick wall was constructed. It is interesting to remember that already by the first century A.D. bricks were considered more resistant to deterioration than marble., which had an estimated useful lifetime of about 80 years ( ). Today, the problem is still in study, if only due to the increased number of masonry structures. 

Brick masonry, even though susceptible to acid rain attack, owes its deterioration mainly to the crystallization of the soluble salts produced in that reaction or from other, more important, sources of soluble salts the inherent vice in bricks and ground water salts. The capability of a given masonry structure to resist deterioration will be directly related to its resistance to water penetration, which is the main single agent responsible for the decay process by salt crystallization.

Biological columns are large-sized concrete or masonry structures, usually round with a gridded base. They are filled with filtration packing through which treated wastewater flows downstream (Fig. 4.25). 

Damp-wood termites do not require contact with the soil. Their infestation is even more devastating than the damage created by subterranean termites. This species derives moisture from numerous sources and has been found on the upper floors of masonry structures where there were plumbing or structural leaks. 

Brick linings, like other masonry structures, have low flexural and tensile strength but high compressive strength. Brick linings, especially on vertical walls, must, therefore, be designed so that the bricks and mortar are always under a compressive load-... 

Impact-echo is a method for non-destructive evaluation of concrete and masonry structures, based on the use of impact-generated stress (sound) waves that propagate throngh a structure and are reflected by internal flaws and external surfaces. 

At the beginning of this chapter the craft origins of construction work was mentioned. The craft was dominated by rules of thumb , usually based upon Euclidean geometry. This worked well since large masonry structures were stable because of their shape, and since stresses were low. As long as the thrust line of the arch was inside the structure, the structure stood, and suitable structural shapes could be found by trial and error. Several functions were often...

The second part of this book is devoted to current and potential applications of adhesive materials in construction. Chapter 6 deals with both the repair and the strengthening of concrete structures, covering applications ranging from non-structural patch repairs and resin overlays to externally bonded steel plate reinforcement. The theme of repair and strengthening is extended to applications involving steel, timber and masonry structures. A number of case histories are reviewed and discussed with reference to the successes and failures, and the results of allied research work are presented. In Chapter 7 a number of applications of adhesives in new construction are described, and specific examples are given. The final chapter. Chapter 8, examines the potential for future developments in adhesive usage.

Mortar m6r-tor [ME morter, fr. OF mortier, fr. L mortarium] (14c) n. (1) Material used in a plastic state which can be troweled, and becomes hard in place, to bond units of masonry structures Note — The word mortar is used without regard to the composition of the material, and is defined only with reference to its use as a bonding material as contrasted with the words stucco and plaster ). (2) A mixture of gypsum plaster with aggregate or hydrated lime, or both, and water is to produce a trowelable fluidity.
