Compressive strength of lightweight concrete masonry
Defining fk values in the national annexes to EC6
One of the main objectives in revising DIN 1053-1 was a more differentiated description of the compressive strength of masonry as a function of the different types of blocks used in order to be able to better utilize structural capacity reserves in the future. In addition, a formal approximation to EC6 was to be achieved together with an update taking into account newfindings. The calculation model according to EC6 including a power function and parameters depending on the block-mortar combination was used in the process to enable a subsequent translation for the national annexes to EC6....
