Abstract
A common diagnostic task for masonry structures is to assess compressive strength of existing brickwork. This article presents a method of assessing masonry compressive strength using tests on core samples extracted from masonry walls and pillars. This method can be classified as minor - destructive one (MDT) and is especially useful for historical buildings. In the research, core samples with diameters of 150 mm and 100 mm were tested. The core samples were cut from brick masonry made at the laboratory and from historical structures erected in the 19th and 20th century. The component materials were ceramic solid bricks and lime or cement - lime mortars. The size effect on compressive behaviour of core samples was analysed for different types of masonry. A similar ratio between the compressive strength measured on two geometries of samples was found. Based on test results and numerical simulations practical recommendations have been proposed.
