Experimental characterization of stone masonry in shear and compression

Shear and compressive mechanical properties are needed for the evaluation of the strength of masonry shear walls by means of simplified methods or numerical analysis. This, in turn, allows to design or assess masonry buildings subjected to combined vertical and horizontal loading. Even if many resul...
