Background: In this study, a methodology based on non-destructive tests was used to
characterize historical masonry and later to obtain information regarding the mechanical …

The aim of this study is to deepen the technical and scientific knowledge related to the
characterization of granite masonry based on geophysical tests, mechanical techniques …

The main aim of the present work is to use NDT (non-destructive test) for characterization of
stone masonry and obtaining information regarding the related mechanical parameters. Due …

An artificial neural network (ANN) implementation for the estimation of masonry compressive
strength is presented. A heterogeneous sample is considered, including brick or stone …

The aim of this study is to predict with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) shear strength of
brick masonry walls. Shear strength of the walls is determined with diagonal shear tests. It is …

The article proposes a method of neural identification of the moisture content in saline brick
walls in historic buildings, which is based on non-destructive testing. The method involves …

The current state of testing methods for assessing the mechanical properties of old masonry
buildings is reviewed, with a focus on the methods adapted for heritage structures. For these …
