Most of the ordinary buildings of Porto, Portugal, build up to early 20th century are made of
one-leaf granite walls with large stone blocks. The influence of stones' shape, internal voids …

The paper summarizes the results of an experimental research carried out on three-leaf
masonry walls of typical granite stone constructions from the North of Portugal. The research …

The present paper deals with the experimental study performed by diagonal compression
tests on four rubble stone masonry panels (120cm× 120cm× 70cm) within the scope of the …

This study addressed the mechanical behaviour of a natural stone masonry typical from the
Spanish Romanesque, both in Heritage and conventional buildings. The objective of this …

The research presented in this paper investigates the mechanical properties under
compressive loads of a natural stone masonry. Selected materials and arrangement are …

The results of an experimental campaign on multi-leaf stone masonry panels (scales 1: 1
and 2: 3), in original conditions and after consolidation with natural hydraulic lime grout …

Stone masonry is one of the oldest “structural materials” known to man. It is made by the
superposition of stones, mortar and, very often, with infill material between leaves. The …

Single and double flat-jack tests are presently used widely for assessing the mechanical
characteristics of stone masonry. This technique remains as one of the most versatile in situ …

Most historic centres in Italy are characterised by the presence of monumental and minor
architectures, often built by stonework multiple-leaf masonry. Its characteristics need being …

This paper presents an experimental campaign on multi-leaf stone masonry panels, scales
1: 1 and 2: 3, in both original conditions and strengthened with grout injections. The panels …
