A penetration test to study the mechanical response of mortar in ancient masonry buildings

Felicetti, Roberto / Gattesco, Natalino

Abstract A simple method for studying the mechanical response of the mortar in existing masonry buildings is presented herein. The method is based on the measurement of the penetration depth increment of a steel probe (4 mm diameter) at each hammer blow (impact energy=2.2 J). Numerous tests were carried out on different laboratory specimens in order to formulate a relationship between the compressive strength and the probe penetration rate, and a series of tests on actual masonry elements confirmed that the proposed relationship is sound.
