Masonry System Strength Simulator

Adjust the block and mortar properties to see how they affect the composite masonry compressive strength ($f'_m$).

System Output

Composite Strength ($f'_m$):12.96 MPa

*The composite strength is heavily influenced by the block strength, but weak mortar limits the overall assembly.
