Description
Most unreinforced masonry structures are vulnerable to seismic actions. Due to the poor shear and bending resistance of masonry walls, seismic actions can sometimes produce mechanisms that may lead to the collapse of the building. This paper presents the results of a shaking table test performed on a 1:2 scale unreinforced masonry building. The results consist of a map of cracks that appeared after the test and some numerical values regarding the dynamic characteristics. The accelerations and displacement recorded show the behaviour of the structural model and the maximum seismic capacity of the system.
