Foreword to the special issue “Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures”
Abstract This special issue focuses on the seismic performance of adjacent interacting masonry structures, particularly in historical European city centers. The AIMS project provided unique data on interacting masonry structures through large-scale shake table tests on two adjacent half-scale stone masonry buildings. The experimental campaign was accomapgnied by a blind prediction study where participants modeled the aggregate’s seismic response. Findings highlight challenges in accurately predicting displacement demands and failure modes, providing critical insights for improving future modeling techniques for masonry buildings.
