What is Testing Procedures for Masonry Structures about?

This document describes two procedures for testing masonry structures in situ: the pile-model procedure and the opposite panel shear compression test. The pile-model procedure involves using a penetrometer to measure the compressive strength of mortar joints on site. Combined with laboratory testing of block specimens and a geometric survey of wall textures, this can be used to develop an analytical model of the wall. The opposite panel test involves applying vertical and cyclic horizontal loads between twi
