Experimental and numerical response of rigid slender blocks with geometrical defects under seismic excitation

The present work investigates on the influence of small geometrical defects on the behavior of slender rigid blocks. A comprehensive experimental campaign was carried out on one of the shake tables of CEA/Saclay in France. The tested model was a massive steel block with standard manufacturing qualit...
