Abstract


Within an extensive research program developed at the University of Lieja in the components of the reinforced masonry, blocks, mortar and reinforcements, this article deals with the part which refers to building masonry works with special reinforcements "Murfor RE". This revolutionary system of prefabricated reinforcements of tridimensional character formed by two longitudinal wires bound together through stirrups at regular distances, has the advantage of allowing the block masonry to be reinforced in two directions, vertical and horizontal, during the simple process of execution of bricklaying in courses. According to this research, the obtained compound result, compared with the solutions already known of block masonries made of reinforced hollow concrete, surpasses them in properties. It is competitive with the reinforced concrete in many cases and can be also used in masonries made of ceramic blocks with wide perforations.
