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 …

Essential for any intervention in existing buildings, a thorough knowledge of both structural
and material characteristics is even more important in the case of traditional stone masonry …

This experimental study aims to contribute to the knowledge of the mechanical behaviour of
limestone masonry. In order to analyze the influence of varying the number of masonry …

This paper studies the influence of the constructive process and the regularity pattern on the
behaviour of one-leaf stone masonry walls in compression through an experimental …

Abstract During the Mexican Colonial period, masonry made of stone and lime mortar was
the main building material used to build churches, convents, and government buildings …

Rubble stone masonry walls were widely used in traditional buildings in Mediterranean
countries. However, the mechanical behaviour of those walls is not completely characterized …

Interventions in historic brick buildings require an exhaustive analysis of the current
characteristics of bricks in order to establish the role performed by these elements in the …

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 …

Non-destructive investigation procedures are appropriate approaches for the qualitative
mechanical assessment of heritage masonry structures. This study aims to contribute to the …
