SANCHEZ-TIZAPA, S. et al. Proposed Reference Values for the Diagonal Compressive Strength and Compressive Strength of Masonry Design in Guerrero State, Mexico. Rev. ALCONPAT [online]. 2017, vol.7, n.3, pp.231-246. ISSN 2007-6835.  https://doi.org/10.21041/ra.v7i3.159.

In this study, reference values for the diagonal compressive strength (DCS) and compressive strength (CS) of masonry designs were obtained for Guerrero State, Mexico. The results of masonry testing programs during the last 16 years were studied using a statistical analysis. DCS values of 0.45 MPa for solid clay brick masonry and 0.20 MPa for hollow concrete block masonry, using type I or II mortars, were calculated. In solid concrete block masonry with type I mortar, the DCS was 0.45 MPa. Additionally, for masonry elaborated with any type of masonry piece and mortar (I or II), the CS had a value of 1.9 MPa. These calculated values can be used for both masonry design and the revision of masonry buildings.
