Experimental Study on Compressive Strength of Insulation Bearing Block Masonry
In order to explore the failure process and compressive strength of the thermal insulation bearing block,the compressive strength lev-el of the new thermal insulation bearing block specimen under axial load was studied in this paper,and the ultimate bearing capacity and com-pression performance of the specimen were evaluated.The results show that the damage of insulation bearing block under axial load is similar to that of ordinary concrete block.In the process of failure,the masonry cracks first appear in the vertical gray joints,and then the cracks contin-ue to grow and penetrate the structure,and the block splits into several independent parts after failure.By adding thin layer mortar to improve the material application efficiency and strengthen the thermal performance of the structure,the compressive strength can be increased by up to 14%.
