This paper discusses masonry characteristics derived from compression tests. The stress-strain relationship and the applicability of orthotropic elasticity to masonry are examined. It is concluded that masonry behaves more or less as a linear-elastic material, in particular for working loads (loads up to 30% of the failure load); for higher loads concrete and calciumsilicate block masonry exhibits a nonlinear behaviour, while the clay brick masonry remains linear-elastic up to failure. At the same time concrete block masonry can be considered as isotropic, and calcium-silicate block and clay brick masonry as orthotropic materials. Based on the test results, a set of simple linear relationships between masonry characteristics is proposed for practical use.
