Abstract: | Although masonry structures have been widely used for centuries, its :fundamental behaviour is still not fully understood. Terraced housing, built on two or three stories was considered robust and stable but the requisites of motor vehicle have introduced an open floor at ground or basement level. This study is going to focus on the load paths amongst masonry walls of a typical terraced house supported on precast prestressed hollow core floors to picture the main trends of load paths in masonry construction. |
