This paper aims to analyze the mechanical characteristics of an innovative construction system for the realization of arches and vaults made of wooden hollow blocks with interlocking joints. They have been made by the partners Ltd Intini in the Regional Strategic Project Apulia " Innovative Structures and Testing of Advanced Materials "- S.I.S.M.A. This new technology is designed to encourage the use of wood, while ensuring excellent mechanical performance and facilitating a quick and easy assembly plant. Experimental studies have been conducted on the base material, the individual blocks, and then on a round arch built in 1:1 scale for evaluating displacements, strains, and the maximum load to failure to consider its compatibility with the code prescriptions.
