Masonry Cavity Walls01:26

Masonry Cavity Walls

1.1K
Cavity walls feature a hollow space between the outer and inner wythes, connected only by corrosion-resistant metal ties. When water seeps through the outer wythe, it descends within this cavity, intercepted by flashing and eventually exiting through weep holes. To enhance moisture resistance, the inner wythe's cavity side often receives damp-proofing, doubling as an air barrier. The cavity can also house insulation to mitigate heat transfer.

Fiber Reinforced Concrete

153
Fiber-reinforced concrete significantly enhances the structural and nonstructural properties of traditional concrete by incorporating fibers like steel, glass, and polymers. These fibers, varying from natural ones such as sisal and cellulose to manufactured ones like polypropylene and Kevlar, are mixed into hydraulic cement with aggregates. Steel fibers, often preferred for their robustness, contribute to improved ductility, toughness, and post-cracking performance. The concrete is classified...

Main Methods:

  • A simplified model of a circular cylinder and an elastic fiber was used.
  • Analytical solutions were derived for the fiber's shape and the insertion force.
  • Experimental validation was performed for the final fiber end section.

Main Results:

  • A specific fiber shape was determined, with most of the fiber against the cylinder wall and a final end section crossing the interior.
  • The length of the final end section was found to be 2.0888a.
  • The insertion force was calculated as EI/2a², where E is Young's modulus and I is the moment of inertia.

Conclusions:
