CONSTRUCTION and ARCHITECTURE IN AZERBAIJAN

Summary

The article reflects the results of scientific research conducted to determine the load-bearing capacity of multilayer wall specimens constructed from local limestone materials, as well as their application in masonry and frame buildings located in seismic regions. The test results of the load-bearing capacity and durability of the wall specimens were comparatively analyzed against their theoretical values. The methodology for determining the load-bearing capacity of the walls has been refined. Based on the results obtained, the feasibility of applying these walls has been studied depending on the number of storeys of masonry buildings, as well as the spacing and height of the load-bearing structural elements of frame buildings. Taking into account the results obtained, the analysis conducted, and international experience in this field, recommendations have been developed for the design of multilayer external walls constructed from natural limestones.
