Abstract
: In this study, direct shear tests were carried out on cement mortar specimens with single-ladder, single-rectangular, and double-rectangular step joints. Consequently, the shear strength, and crack shape of specimens with these through-step joints were analyzed, for understanding the influence ofthethrough-stepjoint’sshapeonthedirectshearmechanicalproperties.Theresultsoftheinvestigation areasfollows:(1)Underthesamenormalstress,anyincreasesintheheight ℎ of the step joint causes an initial-increase-decrease in the shear strengths of specimens with single-ladder and double-rectangular step joints, causing a type-W variation pattern for the specimens with single-rectangular step joint. More essentially, when normal stress and ℎ are constant, the shear strength of specimens with a single-ladder step joint is the greatest, followed by specimens with a double-rectangular step joint, and then specimens with a single-rectangular step joint is the least. (2) Furthermore, given a small ℎ and low normal stress, specimen with a single-ladder step joint mainly experiences shear failure, whereas specimens with single-rectangular and double-rectangular step joints mainly generate extrusion milling in the step joints.
