FULL DYNAMIC AND PUSHOVER ANALYSES OF OUT-OF-PLANE MASONRY FACADES: APPLICATION AND COMPARISONS BY RBSM

The paper focuses on the interpretation and numerical simulation of the results of shaking table tests on two masonry buildings mock-ups, performed at Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (LNEC) in Lisbon, within the purposes of the SERIES project Transnational Access activities (Mendes et al. 2014, Lu et al. 2014). Shaking table tests have produced a huge amount of remarkable data that need to be properly interpreted, in order to get general and synthetic information on the seismic behaviour.
