Young`s Modulus for Mortar

[dawn836]

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL
Does anyone knows a value of the E(Young`s Modulus) for mortar used in masonary walls or Buildings?

 

[SAMO]

According to the Brick Industry Association's Technical Notes 3A "The elastic modulus of grout is computed as 500 times the compressive strength of the grout in accordance with the MSJC Code. In general, the elastic modulus of grout and the elastic moduli of brick or structural clay tile and mortar masonry assemblages are comparable and are often considered equal for design calculations. However, the MSJC Code recommends that the method of transformation of areas based on relative elastic moduli be used for computation of stresses in grouted masonry elements."
