Numerical analysis of byzantine church models

Abstract eng:
This report is concerned with the numerical investigations on the seismic performance of the large scale model of Byzantine church St. Nikolas in v. Psaca, Kriva Palanka, strengthened with ALSC system. In order to control the response of the large scale model during the shaking table tests performed at the IZIIS Laboratory in Skopje, a finite element model was implemented in the commercial code SOFISTIK. Different types of analysis were carried out in the preliminary phases for each step of the experimental programme. In particular, both linear and non-linear numerical models were implemented for the test phases relevant to the original and reinforced large scale model, respectively. The main aim of the preliminary analysis was to predict the behavior of the scaled model during the experiment, and to define the range of excitation in certain faze of the experiment.
