معرفی کتاب Behavior of Unbounded Post-tensioned Masonry Walls
Masonry is probably the oldest and one of the most widely used man-made construction materials in the world (Ganz 1990; Bean Popehn and Schultz 2003; Drysdale and Hamid 2005). The major advantage of masonry is that in terms of raw materials it is highly available worldwide and in terms of construction it is easy and economical. Moreover, masonry is a highly durable, fire resistant and sound absorbing material. In recent decades, the use of unreinforced masonry has declined in comparison with other materials such as concrete and steel, mainly due to the limited application of masonry as a structural material and also the complex behavior of masonry. Improved materials, refined innovative design procedures and innovative construction ideas, together with the inherent advantages of masonry such as availability and easy construction, help to make masonry a unique and useful construction material.
