Experimental Tests on Typical Masonry of Messina Area (Italy) Retrofitted with CAM: Full Scale Panels
2014
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 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-tensioned ty…
