The assessment procedures for masonry structures require some mechanical parameters to
be defined for masonry, at least the compressive strength. Several theoretical approaches …

The assessment procedures for masonry structures ask for (at least) the compressive
strength of the material to be defined. Several theoretical approaches, based on the …

In this study, the suitability of determining masonry compressive strength by using the
following two moderately destructive techniques was evaluated:(i) testing bricks and mortar …

An accurate experimental, numerical and analytical analysis of masonry structures is only
possible if detailed information on the mechanical properties of masonry materials is known …

In order to define the seismic vulnerability of ancient brick masonries and to design
restoration and retrofitting interventions, the estimation of masonry mechanical properties …

The compressive strength of brickwork depends on the compressive strength of the bricks,
the compressive strength of the hardened mortar and on the bond strength between mortar …

This research is focused on the experimental characterisation of the compressive behaviour
of masonry in existing buildings. The proposed technique is based on in situ core drilling of …

Masonry 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 …

One of the parameters identified as influencing the structural response of buildings is the
dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of masonry. The Longitudinal Vibration Test Method and the …
