Relationships between brick compressive strength and results attained from different types of tests were explored in order to identify a suitable non-destructive assessment technique to predict the in situ material properties of vintage solid clay bricks. Empirical expressions were derived that related the brick unit compressive strength to the brick unit modulus of rupture strength and to the modulus...
Mortar is a principal structural component of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, with mortar mechanical properties having an important influence on the behaviour of URM buildings when subjected to earthquake induced shaking. However, the mechanical properties of in situ mortar have long been known to be difficult to obtain. Recommendations on mortar properties for preliminary assessment of URM...
