Evaluate the Thermal Performance of typical Australian Residential Masonry Buildings The thermal performance of four different walling systems (i.e. brick veneer, BV, cavity brick, CB, insulated cavity brick, ICB, and lightweight, LW) typically used in Australian residential buildings has been studied numerically by predicting the indoor air temperature using a Neuro-Fuzzy model.

Factors affecting the Durability of Masonry Mortar Mortar durability in temperate climates is related to the surface hardness of the mortar joint. The Australian Masonry Structures standard AS 3700 contains a test method known as the scratch index test for measuring this hardness. The paper describes an investigation using the scratch test to explore the effect on durability of sand type, cement type, mortar composition and joint tooling.
RP 0: Predicting the Long-Term Moisture Expansion of Fired Clay Products The literature on moisture expansion of fired clay bodies is briefly reviewed and details are given of a method for accelerating the rate of expansion, which can be completed in 24 hours or less, and gives results which correlate well with the behaviour of similar bricks exposed to ambient conditions for periods up to four years.

RP 10: Study of Pore Size Distributions in Relation to Salt Attack The pore size distribution of fired clay bodies formed by extrusion was studied with the aid of a mercury porosimeter. Pore size distribution does not itself provide an adequate guide for grading these bodies into order of their resistance to soluble salt attack.

RP 11: Determination of Expansion of Non-Kiln-Fresh-Bricks The standard test for predicting the moisture expansion of bricks requires testing to have commenced between 24 and 36 hours after the bricks have been drawn from the kiln. This paper concludes that it is possible to estimate the past and future expansion of a clay brick of any age by refiring specimens at 915°C, measuring the shrinkage induced refiring, and conducting the standard accelerated expansion test.

RP 12: The Performance of Clay Segmental Pavements The pull-out test has been employed for a number of years as a means of assessing the capacity of a segmental pavement. This test, which has been adapted to perform in situ pull-out of pavers in trafficked pavements, has been used to examine the performance of clay pavers. Results are presented from laboratory and field investigations.

RP 15: Unreinforced Masonry Structures Countries such as Australia with lower seismicity can use unreinforced masonry provided correct design and detailing techniques are used and the requirements of the appropriate masonry standards implemented. This paper provides an overview and discusses the impact of the new seismic loading provisions on existing practice.
