Abstract
The study of the local behaviour of steel dowels used to transfer horizontal shear loads between concrete slabs and stone masonry walls has been carried out. Monotonic loading tests have been performed on six specimens of stone masonry made in the laboratory concerning three different embedding techniques for dowels. The geometric interferometry technique was adopted to survey the surface displacements, in the load direction, of the loaded stone block and surrounding mortar joints. For applying the shear load to the connection, a special experimental apparatus has been designed so as to allow the arrangement of moire gratings as well as to capture the sequence of the fringe pattern.
