Abstract

This paper reports on the outcomes of an experimental test performed on a full-scale building constructed using innovative technology. The experimental results are compared with the outcomes of a numerical analysis with the aim to derive the behaviour factor q used in a simplified elastic design of the building under seismic actions.
