Evaluation of Compressive Strength of Historic Masonry Using Measurements

Abstract:

Historic structures are made of different types of masonry with significantly different properties. As a rule the information on mechanical properties of masonry components has to be obtained by testing. Estimation of masonry strength from measurements with due regard to relevant uncertainties may be a key issue of the reliability assessment. The probabilistic model of masonry strength is developed considering uncertainties in basic variables and testing procedures. It appears that the characteristics of masonry strength can be well estimated using fundamental statistical methods.
