Dynamic identification and damage detection of multi-leaf stone masonry building by shaking table test

Dynamic test and analysis are very important to obtain reliable information relating to actual structural properties of existing multi-leaf stone masonry buildings. For this purpose a series of the shaking table tests of the two-story multi-leaf stone masonry buildings is carried out. This paper consists of two parts. The first part deals with dynamic identification of the two-story multi-leaf stone masonry building and the second part covers its damage detection by numerical model updating.
