Abstract
In this work an experimental campaign with flat-jacks on old masonry buildings is presented and discussed. The tests were carried out on load bearing masonry walls of an 18th century building of Lisbon downtown. They aimed the evaluation of the rubble stone masonry deformability properties in compression and compressive strength (double flat-jack test) and the shear strength parameters (shear flat-jack test). This study was developed within the scope of the Portuguese research project SEVERES (www.severes.org).
