• •Reliable estimates of dynamic elastic modulus can be obtained quickly and easily.•Static elastic modulus is preferred for most common structural verifications.•Empirical expression proposed to estimate the static modulus from the dynamic one.•Expression tested on a diverse set of typical brick masonry constituents. Different brick masonry typologies have been and are still widely used in construction worldwide. Despite being a fundamental deformation property, experimentally determining the static elastic modulus in compression for brick masonry constituents remains a challenging task. Static modulus estimates usually show much larger dispersion than those involved in determining the dynamic elastic modulus. Although the static property is preferred for common structural verifications, the relationship between the two is yet to be well understood. In light of the above, this paper provides an empirical expression to estimate the static elastic modulus of brick masonry constituents from its dynamic counterpart.
