Abstract

In this paper, a model to describe the cutting process on the masonry specimens extracted from the Gymnasium found in Naples, Italy, during the excavation for a new underground station (2003), is proposed. By means of this model the optimal relations between kinetic, static and energy quantities have been found, which can improve the regularity of the cutting process, permitting to minimise damage on bricks and mortar. A key physical quantity called the “cutting strength” is introduced and calculated through back analysis, starting from the experimental data recorded on site.
