Experiment Study on Stone Masonry Mechanical Properties

Abstract:

The research presented the mechanical properties under compressive loads of a natural stone masonry. The characterization of the basic materials and different stone masonry prisms are included. Sandstone and low strength lime–cement mortar were used for this experimental work. The morphological characteristics of walls were also taken into account, in order to manufacture prism specimens that were as representative as possible of the Chinese typology. The experimental values were compared with the analytical in different masonry.
