EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE BEHAVIOR OF MORTAR SUBJECTED TO SHEAR STRESSES

Autores

Resumo

Considering the increasing need to produce more resistant, durable, and sustainable materials, understanding the mechanical behavior of mortar has become essential, since it is a material widely used by the construction industry. Therefore, this work experimentally evaluates the behavior of mortar with expanding additive subjected to shear stresses. Specifically, it was sought to determine the maximum shear strength, analyze the type of rupture, and evaluate the method employed. The results indicated an average strength of 4.80 MPa, that the failure pattern was indeed shear, and that the method employed is simple and effective.
