Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures – Analysis of a Blind Prediction
Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna
Masonry aggregates, which emerged as layouts of cities and villages became denser, make up historical centres all over the world. In these aggregates, neighbouring structures may share structural walls that are joined at the interfaces by mortar or interlo ...
Springer2024Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures
Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna
Masonry buildings form building aggregates around the world in historical centers, which developed as the layout of the city or village densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings can share structural walls, connected at the interfaces by interlocki ...
2023Blind predictions of shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings
Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna
In many historical centers in Europe, stone masonry is part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. The analysis of such building aggregates is very challenging and modelling guidelines missing. Advance ...
2021Seismic testing of adjacent interacting masonry structures
Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna
In many historical centres in Europe, stone masonry buildings are part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings share structural walls to support floors and roofs. ...

2020Shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings
Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna
Masonry building aggregates can be found throughout historical city centers of Europe. Adjacent buildings have often developed during the long densification process, without consistent planning or engineering. It is common for neighboring units to share a ...
2020Equivalent-Frame Modeling of Two Shaking Table Tests of Masonry Buildings Accounting for Their Out-Of-Plane Response
Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Andrea Penna
Equivalent frame models are an effective tool for the seismic assessment of existing masonry structures. Due to their simplicity, these models can be used to perform multiple nonlinear dynamic analyses, accounting explicitly for different sources of modeli ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2020A three-dimensional macroelement for modelling the in-plane and out-of-plane response of masonry walls
Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Andrea Penna
The seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings is commonly assessed using equivalent frame modelling. Its computational efficiency allows for a large number of analyses to be conducted, which are often required to account for epistemic and aleat ...
2020Shake-Table Test of a Strengthened Stone Masonry Building Aggregate with Flexible Diaphragms
A unidirectional shake-table test was performed on the half-scale prototype of a natural stone masonry building aggregate, to investigate the seismic performance of this type of historical construction and to assess the effectiveness of two retrofit soluti ...
2019Experimental seismic performance of a half-scale stone masonry building aggregate
This paper focuses on the unidirectional dynamic shake-table test performed on a prototype of a natural stone masonry building aggregate. The half-scale prototype was designed to reproduce the features of existing unreinforced stone masonry building aggreg ...
