Key Points

This research aims to develop and validate a design procedure for assessing the structural integrity of historical masonry vaults through experimental load testing.
Conducted full-scale in-situ load tests on masonry vaults
Evaluated structural performance under various load conditions
Applied design by testing principles to gather empirical data
Identified critical load-bearing capacities for historical vaults
Demonstrated the effectiveness of experimental testing in design validation
Provided insights into the structural behavior of masonry under load

Implication

Experimental load tests reveal structural insights in historical masonry vaults, suggesting important design parameters.
