Abstract
In the dynamic analysis of old stone masonry buildings
subjected to two-component strong ground motions the
variability and uncertainties connected both with the forcing
actions and the non linear mechanical behaviour are
conditions not eliminable. For these reasons it is suitable to
develop analytical models capable of describing the global
seismic behaviour but simple enough to allow extensive
parametric analyses at an acceptable computational cost.
The 2dof modellisation presented herein is appropriate to
approximate in particular the dynamic response of tall
buildings geometrically regular enough to let the contribute
of the modes higher than the first be negligible.
Numerical analyses are then carried out in order to study the effects of the orientation and shape of the horizontal section in connexion with the different hysteretic behaviours of the material. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
