Summary
Structural engineering generally deals with structures subjected to dynamic loads
with the hypothesis of deformable behaviour. However, in some cases such as art
objects, isolated columns, statues, tanks of oil storage, water towers, nuclear
reactors, cement blocks used for radiation shielding and special artifacts the
simplified model of a rigid block simply supported on a plane can be useful. The
case of free oscillations for one simply supported rigid block and two superimposed
blocks, together with forced excitations of the base of one block are analyzed in this
paper.
