Popis: | An extensive experimental program was carried out at EUCENTRE, within a research project on the evaluation and reduction of the seismic vulnerability of stone masonry structures. The main part of the experimental program has been devoted to the shaking table tests on three full-scale, two-story, single-room prototype buildings made of undressed double-leaf stone masonry. The first building tested was representative of existing unreinforced stone masonry structures with flexible wooden diaphragms, without any specific anti-seismic design nor detailing. In the second and third buildings, strengthening interventions were simulated on structures theoretically identical to the first one, improving wall-to-floor and wall-to-roof connections and increasing diaphragm stiffness. In particular, in the third specimen, steel and r.c. ring beams were used to improve the diaphragm connection to the walls and collaborating r.c. slab and multi-layer plywood panels were used to stiffen floor and roof diaphragms, respectiv... |
