The present paper discusses similitude laws employed for the shaking-table tests of masonry structures with flexible diaphragms. Two tasks are tackled. First, the paper presents a literature review on similitude laws. The discussion focuses on Cauchy and Cauchy-Froude laws. Second, numerical analysis is performed to examine the accuracy and adequacy of the aforementioned two laws. Two previously performed shaking-table tests are taken advantage of as the case studies. The paper explores the ideal applications of similitude laws to the shaking table tests of masonry structures with flexible diaphragms by comparing the behaviour between full-scale prototypes and reduced-scale models.
