Abstract:
A test of a full sized post-tensioned concrete masonry wall is reported. The results of the test are compared with the design based on a truss analogy and with an analysis as a two-dimensional stress problem using McHenry’s lattice analogy. Except in the neighborhood of a doorway in the wall, agreement between experimental results and both the truss and lattice analogy solutions was very good.
