Structural investigation of slender prestressed brick walls : a report / prepared for Canada Brick by Edward M. Lacika (M.Eng. Canadidate) and Robert G. Drysdale (Professor).: NH17-252/1994E-PDF
"This report contains the results of an investigation of the out-of-plane structural behaviour of slender prestressed brick walls. Eleven simply supported walls with slenderness (h/t) ranging from 30 to 67 (h = 2.7 m to 6.0 m) were tested. Prestress in the walls was induced using a 26 mm diameter threaded rod which was unbonded but guided. The 1.2 m wide walls were constructed by an experienced mason using 90x90x290 mm bricks. The construction of the prestressed walls did not require special equipment, and it was possible to use commercially available tools and materials. Multiple tests were conducted on each wall to maximize the amount of information obtained. Material properties of the individual wall components were determined to provide data for use in analyses"--Summary.
