Research of Ties from Polymer Composite Meshes for Three-Layer Masonry

The article presents the results of experimental studies of flexible ties made of polymer composite materials in the form of meshes used in masonry. The tests were carried out according to the method developed earlier by the authors. Determined the strength of the ties pulled out from the mortar joint, obtained the coefficients of the nonuniform switching of the cores in the composition of meshes, the features of meshes work as flexible ties. The graphs of movements separately in the anchorage nodes of connections in the mortar ties and between the layers of masonry are obtained. Two types of limit states were considered – for the load-bearing capacity and permissible movements under operating conditions. It is shown that both types of studied ties meet these criteria. The research data will be used to obtain generalized data on flexible ties in multilayer stone walls, including meshes made of polymer composite materials.
