Biaxial Shaking Table Tests on a Full‐Scale Single‐Story Traditional Greek Stone Masonry and Timber‐Framed Composite Structure After Repairs

Repairs were carried out on a full‐scale, single‐story specimen of a traditional Ottoman‐period Greek structure, comprising a stone masonry wall with timber ties and three timber‐framed ones with fired clay brick infill, which had been subjected to biaxial shaking table tests. The connection between the walls was enhanced, as was the roof‐level diaphragm. The timber‐framed walls were clad with plywood panels and the cracks in the stone wall were repaired. The repaired specimen was then subjected to biaxial seismic tests, while its dynamic characteristics before and after seismic testing were determined with sine sweep tests. The repaired specimen safely withstood 22% increased base acceleration (0.44 g compared to 0.36 g for the As‐built one), with damages concentrating in the stone wall, while the rocking mechanism of the timber‐framed ones changed.
