Experimental analysis of the size effect on the compressive behaviour of cylindrical samples core-drilled from existing brick masonry
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the results of an experimental programme about the evaluation of the size effect on the compressive behaviour of cylindrical samples of existing masonry. The study focuses on the in-situ coring and ... -
Experimental and numerical insights on the diagonal compression test for the shear characterisation of masonry
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe masonry tensile strength and shear modulus play a key role in the definition of the shear capacity of masonry structures. These properties are often determined experimentally by means of the diagonal compression test ... -
Experimental comparison of two testing setups for characterizing the shear mechanical properties of masonry
(Elsevier, 2021-09-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe prediction of the structural capacity of masonry buildings against lateral loads requires an accurate characterization of the masonry strength and the general response under shear stresses. The experimental determination ... -
Influence of recycled limestone filler additions on the mechanical behaviour of commercial premixed hydraulic lime based mortars
(Elsevier, 2020-03)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents an experimental programme aimed at investigating the use of limestone filler additions to modify the mechanical properties of commercial premixed hydraulic lime based mortars. The influence of adding ... -
Laboratory experimental procedures for the compression and shear characterisation of historical brick masonry
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-12-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessMasonry has been used for millennia to build all sort of constructions. As a result, a significant part of the building stock around the world is made of masonry. In the need of structural assessment, structural analysis ... -
Monotonic and cyclic testing of clay brick and lime mortar masonry in compression
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Article
Open AccessThis research presents an experimental programme on the mechanical characterization of masonry under monotonic and cyclic uniaxial compression. Two different types of standard specimens, running bond walls and stack bond ...
