Abstract (EN): This paper presents different experimental test techniques used to assess the behavior of different masonry structures. The test setups presented can be considered from the simplest one for in-situ use, to more complex ones used in laboratory conditions. Some examples are presented as used to assess the in-plane and out-of-plane performance of masonry walls subjected to loads using simple in-situ or complex laboratory setups. In particular, an experimental test for behavior assessment of a masonry arch bridge is referred as an example of a simple test methodology with complex instrumentation. Finally, some comments are included regarding the efficiency of simple test schemes when compared to more complex and elaborated test setups as well as the applicability of the later to in-situ or laboratory conditions regarding costs, time and the need for their use.
