The strength of reinforced concrete masonry walls formed with mortared stretcher bonded concrete ‘H’ blocks, core filled with high slump grout and centrally reinforced with unrestrained reinforcement is investigated. Codes of practice consider masonry walls with unrestrained reinforcement to be unreinforced. Tests of storey height walls at the University of Queensland show that unrestrained reinforcement increases the wall strength.
