The paper presents the main results of experimental tests concerning the reduction of the
seismic vulnerability of stone masonry buildings with flexible floors. Two mock-ups (original
condition and repaired) were tested in a 3D shaking table. The results show that the adopted
measures are efficient. A set of non-linear static analyses (pushover) were considered,
together with time integration analysis. The non-linear dynamic analyses reproduced the
seismic behavior observed in the seismic tests. However, the pushover analyses did not
simulate correctly all the failure mode of the structure and should be used with caution.This work was partly funded by project FP7-ENV-2009-1-244123-NIKER of the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission Project
