Have you checked the Brick Industry Association website? They may have a technical article that may assist you in your design. http://www.gobrick.com/

The Brick Industry Association (BIA) has a technical article with regards to expansion of brick. See link below. http://www.gobrick.com/html/frmset_thnt.htm

What type of load are you referring too? Are the fasteners going to be subjected to withdrawal, just lateral loads, or a combination of both? Depending on the type of load is going to determine number of fasteners and configuration. Typical safety of factor is four (4) if the manufacturer is...

For my master's thesis, I did experimental testing on unreinforced masonry walls reinforced with near surface mounted (NSM) carbon FRP. I focused on out-of-plane bending, but the method works for in-plane also. There was a forum recently were I posted three (3) links for my thesis and two (2)...

Go with your gut...just remember, you can't over-engineer it!!

asixth I guess I don't understand your question completely?....I wrote the FRPRCS paper that is attached in grad school if that is what your asking. My advisor went to the conference (he is from Australia) and presented the paper...

I think some of the questions might be best explained with the two papers I have attached in addition to a link for my thesis. I should have been a little more specific about the reverse loading issue. I can really only speak for my research with NSM FRP strips. The paper that BAretired...

dm3415 It's funny that you ask that question because that was the very first question I had to answer during my defense. During my defense, a few of my professors and myself got into a debate over this exact question....It comes down to what application that is applied...with regards to the...

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP)is one way to go...I did my masters thesis with reinforcing unreinforced masonry wall with FRP...very comparable to steel with respect to strength and ductility...my thesis focused on out-of-plane bending, but FRP is great in in-plane bending... There are a...

I agree with BA...I'm a forensic engineer and frequently in crawlspaces...
