Characterization of the cyclic behavior of dry masonry joints
Dry masonry mechanics received little attention from research community, when compared with resources invested in traditional (mortar joint) masonry. Nevertheless, a large number of historical stone constructions use dry masonry joints, while, in constructions originally built with weak lime mortar, mortar deterioration leads to a behavior similar to dry masonry. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge of the behavior of dry masonry joints under cyclic loading, which is a key aspect for seismic actions. The work focuses on the characterization of Coulomb failure criterion and the load-displacement behavior of dry masonry joints under cyclic loading, including aspects as surface roughness, dilatancy and inelastic behavior. A displacement controlled test set-up using masonry couplets is used for this purpose. Besides providing a basis for understanding the behavior of masonry joints in tension, the experiments contribute also to the definition and parameterization of advanced non-linear numeric models.
