Abstract(s)
In order to perform a correct and efficient rehabilitation of old building,
it is required to know the materials used, their main properties as well as the
construction process. Tabique Walls (TW) are primary building components of
many constructions in the historic center of Viseu and their function, in addition
to being used as partitioning elements (the most common in Portugal), is to be part
of the main structure of buildings. In this sense it is essential to understand how
the TW interconnect with each other and with the other main structural elements
of buildings, namely the floors and the stone masonry walls. The important role
of metallic connectors in the realization of these bonds is emphasized. This paper
presents the research carried out in several buildings of the historic center of
Viseu. Several constructive solutions found are detailed, associating the shapes
and dimensions of the connectors to their function, and results are presented out
of a primary campaign of laboratory tests carried out to define their mechanical
properties. The knowledge obtained allows a better understanding of the overall
structural behavior of these buildings and the role of the TW in that behavior.
