Quasi-static cyclic in-plane tests on masonry components 2016/2017
Jul 25, 2023
Quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry components, such as walls, can capture the behaviour of vulnerable elements and thus serve as benchmarks for the validation of analysis methods. They allow studying the response of the element in terms of load and deformation capacity, failure mechanism and hysteresis behaviour. In-plane and out-of-plane tests are generally performed in this category
Welcome message from author
In this report the tests results related to the quasi-static cyclic in-plane tests on large-scale walls are
presented. Section 2 shows the nomenclature adopted in this report. Section 3 reports a description of the
in-plane tests performed in WP3. Section 4 gives an overview of the material properties determined via
companion destructive tests. Section 5 presents the testing procedure for the in-plane shear-compression
tests on large-scale walls. Section 6 shows the experimental results in terms of hysteresis behaviour, force
and displacement capacity, crack pattern evolution and dissipated energy. Section 7 reports an overview of
the results and compares the performances of the various walls adopting the bilinear curve
