“…The model was designed and constructed to the geometrical scale of 1:9 as a gravity force neglected model, where stone, mortar and steel connecting element materials were used with the same or sufficiently similar characteristics as in the original structure. The same method of assembling the vault used for the reconstruction of the prototype was applied also in the construction of the model -clamps and dowels, as well as liquid lead was used in connecting the stone blocks (Kustura et al 2018). For the seismic testing of the Old Bridge model, the accelerogram of the Montenegro Petrovac earthquake of 15 April 1979 was applied as a characteristic earthquake.…”

Evaluation of seismic stability and behavior of structures involves several important aspects and activities that should be considered. Among these is testing of scaled models on a shaking table. Within several complex international projects related to the problem of seismic stability of historic masonry structures, a number of tests were performed on the 5DOF shake table in the Dynamic Testing Laboratory of the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology in Skopje. Most of these tests were aimed at experimental verification of new proposed methodologies for repair and seismic strengthening by testing models of representative existing prototype structures for specific types of monuments. Some models were tested mainly for the purpose of assessing the vulnerability of a particular monument or to estimate the intensity of a past earthquake as a reason for existing damage. The applied testing procedure, the obtained experimental results and the main conclusions on selected and characteristic historic masonry structure models tested in the past, as well as recently tested models of the stone masonry arch bridge -the Old Bridge in Mostar and the ancient dry masonry Protiron structure in Split will be presented.
