Abstract
The dynamic and static analysis of existing structures is essential to obtain reliable
information related to real life structural properties. For this purpose a series of material
tests, dynamic tests and static collapse tests of existing brick chimneys was
carried out. The brick chimneys’ dynamic parameters were identified by autoregressive
moving average vectors (ARMAV) and eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA)
techniques. On the basis of the experimental tests, numerical models were prepared
and in accordance with the European code, non-linear static (pushover) analysis of the
chimneys was carried out to evaluate their seismic performance.
