Experimental shear testing of timber-masonry dry connections for the seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry shear walls
The mechanical coupling of timber products to the masonry walls of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is generating considerable interest in terms of seismic vulnerability mitigation. An extensive experimental investigation on timber panel to masonry wall connections realised with screw anchor fasteners is presented. A total of 64 shear tests under monotonic, cyclic and semi-cyclic loading conditions were performed on site in a historic URM building. The examined parameters were: masonry type, timber panel product and material, load-to-grain direction, fastener geometry and steel grade. The outcomes of the campaign are then reported and discussed focusing on the strength and stiffness properties and on the dissipation capacity and residual strength of the connection under cyclic load. Moreover, a lognormal distribution fitting is proposed for the maximum load and slip modulus measurements of all the cyclic test configurations analysed. Finally, the principal experimental observations are listed along with recommendations for future work or use in practice
