ABSTRACT
The 6th April 2009 Earthquake strongly hit one of the most significant historical centres of the Italian background: The Municipality of L’Aquila. This city full in history is placed in eminent position to Gran Sasso Mountain, and it dominates the Aterno valley, at the right (See Fig.1). In order to conserve and restore the great damaged Heritage pointed out a research project directed to obtain an effective and sustainable strategy of intervention was provided. It was strictly connected to old masonry typologies identification and mechanical parameters detection; therefore, a destructive in-situ test campaign was planned for full-scale structural elements. Nevertheless, it was not only focused to engineering aspects but to architectural one also; in fact, two main concepts were marked safety and conservation. The first one is primary but severely related to the second issue. Granted that, seven panels were selected, in a corner palace permanent damaged, they were strengthened with different methods and tested with the final aim to evaluate in-plane (Candela et al 2011 and Candela et al 2012) and out-of-plane masonry response (Borri et al 2011 and Borri et al 2012). This paper will point up masonry features and panels ‘out-of-plane behavior.
Key-words: Old masonry, Architectonical Heritage, Stonework setting, Full-scale tests, Out-of-plane mechanism.
