Experimental tests on typical masonry of Messina area (Italy) retrofitted with CAM: A full scale arch
The present paper focuses on an in-situ testing campaign recently developed in the Messina area, Italy, aiming at the assessment of the in-plane shear behaviour of traditional masonry structures retrofitted with the innovative CAM system (a system of 3D pre-tensioned stainless steel ties). The typical masonry of Messina area, is characterised by low mechanical properties, both for its texture and for the bad quality of mortar, as well as lack of transverse connections. The high seismic risk characterizing the zone, amplifies the need for in-plane strengthening and transverse connections improving. The CAM system, Masonry Active Ties or Manufact Active Confining, allows to realise a 3D pre-t…
Prove sperimentali in situ su tipica muratura messinese rinforzata con CAM: arco in muratura a piena scala
Il presente lavoro illustra i risultati di una campagna sperimentale di prove in situ recentemente realizzata nella zona di Messina, in particolare il fine della sperimentazione è la valutazione del comportamento a taglio-compressione della tradizionale muratura messinese (nota in generale per le basse proprietà meccaniche dovute alle caratteristiche della pietra, alla cattiva qualità della malta ed alla mancanza di connessioni trasversali) rinforzata con il sistema CAM (Cucitura Attiva dei Manufatti).
