Rocking motion is sensitive to the boundary and initial conditions of a rocking structure,
making experiments nonrepeatable. Thus, the claims that numerical rocking motion models …

Experimental results concerning the earthquake response of a marble model of a classical
column are reported herein. The model was a 1: 3 scale replica of a column of the …

In order to use rocking as a seismic response modification strategy along both directions of
seismic excitation, a three‐dimensional (3D) rocking model should be developed. Since …

SUMMARY A common type of ancient monuments around the Mediterranean is the ancient
Greek temple. Unfortunately, very few remain intact; most of them surviving in the form of free …

Abstract Remnants of Greek Temples are found all over the Mediterranean, surviving in most
cases in the form of free-standing columns. The drums are resting on top of each other …

Throughout history, dry‐stone masonry structures have been strengthened with different
types of metal connectors in order to increase their resistance which enabled their survival …

Reliable estimation of seismic stability of structures built in seismically active regions is an
objective that requires a complex investigation and different types of activities. For historical …

The results of a experimental study on the effect of the drum height on the bearing capacity
of composite multi-drum column under axial compression force and lateral horizontal force …

The results of a shake-table study of the effects of the joint type on the seismic behaviour of
free-standing small-scale multi-drum column are presented. Columns with three types of …

The results of an experimental study on the effect of the joints between the blocks on the
ultimate bearing capacity of a multi-drum column loaded to centric vertical force and …
