Abstract

During the recent earthquakes in Northern Italy many RC precast industrial buildings were seriously damaged. Amongst different types of damage, many falls of cladding panels were occurred. Consequently, many doubts about current knowledge about their seismic behaviour have been expressed.

To study the seismic response of claddings in real conditions and their influence on the system response of whole structure a series of full-scale shake table tests was performed by the University of Ljubljana in cooperation with IZIIS, Macedonia. The results of these experimental campaign were used to define and calibrate appropriate numerical models for the main structure, claddings and cladding-to-structure connections. These models are presented in the paper.
