Tuff-Brick Listed Masonry: Experimental Behaviour


Abstract eng:
The last Italian Guideline (2008) contains some indications about the main mechanical properties of masonry structures based on the constituents material (units and mortar) and their assemblage. Amplification factors are also introduced in case of stripes for stone masonry. Nevertheless, no indications are contained for tuff structures, although many examples of listed masonry are present in Southern Italy. In this paper, an experimental campaign carried out on listed tuff and brick masonry panels is presented and the results commented, also in the light of the national Guidelines. Finally, an amplifying coefficient to be used with this kind of masonry is suggested.
