In the framework of the DISWall research project, funded by the European Commission, quality assessment procedures for modern reinforced masonry buildings, involving non-destructive test methods, were performed. Different testing techniques were applied on two reinforced masonry systems, based on concentrated vertical reinforcement and on the use of perforated clay units. This contribution focuses on results obtained by radar and sonic techniques, applied in laboratory on two masonry specimens which were built including known defects in the masonry. The tests were also carried out on-site, on real walls of a selected case study. Among the various techniques, dynamic tests were also performed. Their results are reported in Mosele, da Porto, Modena (2008), of the present conference.

Abstract
In the framework of the DISWall research project, funded by the European Commission, quality assessment procedures for modern reinforced masonry buildings, involving non-destructive test methods, were performed. Different testing techniques were applied on two reinforced masonry systems, based on concentrated vertical reinforcement and on the use of perforated clay units. This contribution focuses on results obtained by radar and sonic techniques, applied in laboratory on two masonry specimens which were built including known defects in the masonry. The tests were also carried out on-site, on real walls of a selected case study. Among the various techniques, dynamic tests were also performed. Their results are reported in Mosele, da Porto, Modena (2008), of the present conference.Pubblicazioni consigliate
