Masonry prisms have been widely used in research and quality control of masonry
structures, as they are simplified models that can represent the interaction between different …

This paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls
retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) to improve their in-plane shear strength and …

This research presents a cost-effective surveying methodology to assist the seismic
assessment of complex heritage buildings, based on terrestrial structure-from-motion (SfM) …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the structural and material response
of ambient-dry and wet clay-brick/lime-mortar masonry elements. In addition to cyclic tests …

This 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 …

This paper presents an experimental programme aimed at investigating the use of limestone
filler additions to modify the mechanical properties of commercial premixed hydraulic lime …

The crucial task of the diagnosis of an existing masonry structure is to assess the current
values of the mechanical parameters of the materials from which the structure was erected …

Mortar plays a major role on the strength and durability characteristics of masonry structures.
While the mortar is in confined state in masonry, generally the unconfined compressive …

This study addresses the evaluation of the confinement effect in the experimental
determination of compressive strength in solid fired clay units. The experimental campaign …

Correlations between compressive strength and modulus of elasticity resulted from cement-
based materials of different geometries can help researchers to compare experimental data …
