FLAT JACKS - TESTS ON BRICKWORKS
DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE AND DEFORMATION UNDER LOAD
EVALUATION OF TENSILE STRESS
MEASUREMENT OF ELASTIC MODULUS AND BREAKING LOAD
The complete test is developed in two steps:
DETERMINATION OF STATIC LOAD (TENSILE STATUS)
One flat jack is used.
Two datum points are fixed across a mortar joint and the distance between the points is measured.
Successively a horizontal cut is carried out with the suitable tool (drill, cutting saw) level with the mortar layer, and it is measured the variation
of the two datum points.
The flat jack must be introduced, it is pressurized in different growing phases and the variation between the datum points is measured, by
determining the static load.
DETERMINATION OF DEFORMATION AND RESISTANCE (IN-SITU STRESS)
Two flat jacks are used.
It must be done a second cut, parallel to the first one, level with the mortar layer, having a distance of approximately 50 cm from the first cut.
Another flat jack must be introduced.
Three couples of datum points are placed on the brickwork portion between the two cuts.
Start to pressurize the two flat jacks at growing phases.
The variation of distances of the datum points at different pressure steps allows to delineate a strength-deformation curve, obtaining elastic
modulus, Poisson and breaking point values.
