WP 8 - Integration, specimen preparation and calibration

1. WP 8 - Integration, specimen preparation and calibration Partner - ZAG (Slovenia)

2. Past experience - ZAG • NDT methods • metal detector • thermovision • ambient vibration • MDT methods • sampling and laboratory testing of units and mortar • in-situ lateral tests of masonry walls • DT methods • laboratory lateral/compressive tests of walls cut out from the building

3. Past experience - Other • NDT methods • Ultra sonic measurements (Faculty for Civil Eng. and Geodesy, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia) • MDT methods • Bond Wrench in-situ tests (University of Newcastle, Australia) • Flat Jack tests (University of Newcastle, Australia) • Scratch tests for determination of the durability of the mortar (University of Newcastle, Australia)

4. Planned activities of ZAG and IRMA • In-situ tests for determination of lateral resistance of existing historic masonry walls (with application of several NDT and MDT techniques - call for other partner for calibration of their stuff/equipment). • Laboratory tests for determination of lateral resistance of brick masonry walls (with application of several NDT and MDT techniques - call for other partner for calibration of their stuff/equipment).
