Experimentally applied earthquakes and associated loading on a full-scale dry-stacked masonry structure

This paper describes some practical aspects of testing full-scale structures under realistic earthquake loading. A method of filtering earthquake signals so that they can be applied by servo-hydraulic test machines with limited displacement capabilities is presented. Two standard high-pass filtering...
