Seismic analysis of a 2-storey log house
TL;DR: In this paper, a full scale shaking table test was conducted on a two-storey log house designed by the Portuguese company Rusticasa® in compliance with design rules for timber buildings and the test procedure was conducted in stages with maximum accelerations (bi-directional) of 0.07g, 0.28g and 0.5g.
Linear and non-linear FEM analyses to assess a shear flat-jack test for masonries
TL;DR: The numerical results highlight the potential for the shear FJ test to become a suitable MDT method for evaluating the sheer modulus and strength of brick masonry and evidence some aspects where further investigation is advisable.
