Shake Table Tests on Scaled Masonry Building: Comparison of Performance of Various Micro-Electromechanical System Accelerometers (MEMS) for Structural Health Monitoring [PDF]
SensorsThis study presents the results of an experimental investigation conducted on a 2:3 scale model of a two-story stone masonry building. We tested the model on the UniKORE L.E.D.A. lab shake table, simulating the Mw 6.3 earthquake ground motion that struck

Validation of Model-Based Real-Time Hybrid Simulation for a Lightly-Damped and Highly-Nonlinear Structural System [PDF]
Journal of Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2021 Hybrid simulation (HS) is a cost-effective alternative to shake table testing for evaluating the seismic performance of structures. HS structures are partitioned into linked physical and numerical substructures, with actuators and sensors providing the ...

Shake-Table Testing of a Cross Vault
Buildings, 2022 Domes, vaults and arches are structural components of high vulnerability, due to the horizontal component of the thrust they impose to the supporting vertical elements (piers or walls), accentuated by the asymmetry of loading due to seismic actions. In order to explore the possibilities of reducing this vulnerability, a cross vault made of brickwork ...
