Bellesguard Building

Flat-jack tests on a masonry wall of the building.

2008. Barcelona, Zaragoza

Marc Tous, Joan Ramón Rosell

 

Brief description:


Due to the different structural problems that appear in the building and especially to the spire, the idea was to determine the Young module of the different masonries. The flat-jack test was used to determine the static deformation module of the masonry load walls and the tower masonry pillars that make up the lower tambour of the spire.
