Methods for determining mechanical properties of walls

Masonry buildings with wooden floor structures, not equipped vertical and horizontal tie beams, suffered the greatest damage in earthquake that hit Zagreb on 22 March 2020. It is very significant to know mechanical properties of walls during preparation masonry renovation design and, consequently, methods for determining such are presented detailed this paper. In addition description these methods, results obtained by testing shear strength twenty (149 measuring points total) also presented, as well compressive bricks 14 buildings, using a total 62 samples.
