TY  - JOUR
AB  - Performing a realistic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures involves designing and executing appropriate experimental tests on masonrycomponentsfor determining the material model parameters to be used in structural analysis. Consideringrecent developmentsin which inverse analysis was used as calibration framework, a vertical flat-jack testis investigated in this paper. Two simplified models are describedfor the analysisof the stress state in the masonry due to the pressure transferred by the flat-jack. Furthermore, with the aim of designing the sensor setup for the test, aPOD analysis on the deformation  state  of  the  structure  is carried  out,  highlighting  the  basic deformation modes  which govern the response. The results show that high stresses and local modes can occur in the proximity of the flat-jack,and thus local use of FRP reinforcement is recommended to avoid undesired brittle crack propagationwhich may prevent accurate calibration of mortar joint mechanical characteristics.
