Keywords: Building stone; mechanical Properties; prisms; cubes; compressive strength; limestone. 1. Introduction* Concrete-backed stone masonry is one of the most important construction method used in Jordan and the Middle East. Until the nineties of the last century, most of Jordan's low rise buildings are constructed from theIn addition to reinforced concrete and steel buildings, a large part of the existing building stock in Europe is made of stone masonry. Prediction of the structural behavior requires the development of a systematic material characterization of the mechanical properties and structural details (units, arrangement, bonding, inter-connection). This study aims to analyze the mechanical …
