The paper describes experimental measurements of post tensioned prestressed masonry corner that is built in finished steel structure. The steel structure is designed so that many different tests with different input parameters could be done. Prestress is installed through prestressing bars using hydraulic cylinders. Prestressing bars were installed into the mortar joints during construction. Displacements are measured by potentiometer sensors and the results are evaluated using graphs.
