Experimental and Numerical Investigations on Historical Masonry Wall Specimens Tested in Shear-Compression Configuration

Abstract: The paper presents the experimental investigation carried out on wall specimens reproducing the ancient masonry of several monumental building located in the old city centre of L' Aquila (Italy) and damaged by the April 2009 earthquake. The wall specimens were prepared in accordance with the traditional technique, using original stone elements and typical poor mortar. Subsequently, the specimens were consolidated with mortar injections. Other specimens were also reinforced with Ultra High Tensile Strength Stee… Show more

“…Indeed, for this masonry type, the mechanism failure mainly regards the mortar joints, which represent the weak zone in masonry systems [6,7]. The triplet test relies on a particular constraint system that creates a shear box [24]. Usually, a couple of rigid steel plates is mounted on the upper and lower parts of the wall specimen (see Figure 1a).…”
