Funded Activity Summary

Stochastic Modelling of Strength and Reliability of Masonry Walls Loaded in Flexure and Compression. For new construction, a more efficient use of structural masonry will mean that less material will be used when compared to masonry structures designed to existing design specifications. This will result in lower construction costs, reduced energy costs and could help contribute to an increase in building approvals. The ability to more accurately assess the safety of existing masonry structures may allow authorities to avoid unnecessary demolition or rehabilitation of such structures. Such infrastructure includes much of Australia's domestic housing, light commercial structures, numerous heritage buildings, and many structures required to serve a post disaster function.
