Preliminary Experimental Results of a Masonry Building Prototype Subject to Harmonic Forces of Different Intensity

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present paper an experimental study has been performed on a masonry building prototype and some preliminary experimental results are illustrated for analyzing the structural behavior of a masonry building prototype subject to harmonic forces of different intensity. The physical model used for the laboratory test is a two-story masonry building characterized by a regular floor plan. The structure test is subjected to a harmonic force input supplied by a vibrodyne. The experimental results are aimed at characterizing the dynamic response of the masonry building subject to harmonic forces in order to describe the bahaviour of the masonry building under the predominant actions of a seismic input.
