“…A number of shaking table tests have been performed on reduced-scale masonry structures with flexible diaphragms according to similitude laws. Tests were performed successfully on single-storey masonry buildings (Okail et al 2011, Rafi et al 2018Kallioras et al 2018, Paquette and Bruneau 2003, Paquette et al 2004) and multistorey masonry buildings (Mendes et al 2014, Deng et al 2019, Mouzakis et al 2018, Senaldi et al 2020, 2005. The size effect of units can be unignorable when the scale of masonry structures are significantly reduced Beyer 2014a-b, Mohammed andHughes 2011).…”

The present paper discusses similitude laws employed for the shaking-table tests of masonry structures with flexible diaphragms. Two tasks are tackled. First, the paper presents a literature review on similitude laws. The discussion focuses on Cauchy and Cauchy-Froude laws. Second, numerical analysis is performed to examine the accuracy and adequacy of the aforementioned two laws. Two previously performed shaking-table tests are taken advantage of as the case studies. The paper explores the ideal applications of similitude laws to the shaking table tests of masonry structures with flexible diaphragms by comparing the behaviour between full-scale prototypes and reduced-scale models.

“…Different studies on these problems can be found in the literature. A single halfscale stone masonry structure was constructed on a rigid steel base connected to a shake table [21]. Three dry stone masonry models scaled by a factor of 0.55 were constructed outside the shake table on a concrete base frame simultaneously [22], but the process of moving those structures up to the shake table was not reported.…”

The shake table test is one of the preferred techniques used to understand the dynamic response of a structure. However, due to the limited number of facilities available to perform such tests and their expensiveness, researchers often must rely on numerical models validated with the results of the static tests only. Moreover, most research papers concerning shake table tests lack details on how the tests were planned and executed. This paper explains the steps used for the preparation and execution of shake table tests on three reduced-scale buildings. These buildings were constructed outside the shake table surface, on a metallic base frame, and later moved to the shake table used for the tests in order to optimize the time of the experimental campaign. This approach enabled us to complete the tests in only 6 days. The approach presented in this paper may be helpful to researchers who want to increase the effectiveness of the available shake table facility and overcome the limitations of time and budget. Moreover, the solution presented in this article helps in the displacement of specimens without the use of a crane or other sophisticated hydraulic machinery. Thus, it could also be useful for testing specimens that have been aged and that are sensitive to displacements.
