Stabilization and Strengthening of Historic Buildings' Stone Masonry Columns

Jiří Witzany, Radek Zigler

Abstract

The experimental research of failure mechanism of stone columns made of coursed masonry of regular sandstone blocks and coursed masonry of irregular (freestone) blocks under concentric compression and the research of the performance of non-reinforced as well as CFRP-reinforced stone columns completed to-date pointed out the necessity of a different approach to the assessment of the load-bearing capacity, or residual load-bearing capacity, of masonry composed of stone blocks.
