Abstract (EN): This paper presents stone masonry characterization using sonic tests. These were performed on a stone masonry panel that was cut of a building wall and transported into LESE (Earthquake and Structural Engineering Laboratory) at FEUP (Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto). Sonic tests were performed both on discrete stones and on the wall panel so that the local and global behaviour could be observed. These tests took place before, during and after a compression load test. The results show both a decrease of wave velocity on the stones during and after the load test and an increase of the wave velocity for the wall.
