[Cob] Coblist Digest, Vol 10, Issue 30

[Kathy Dunster]

I already posted this back in 2010 but here goes again:

For some really great photos and descriptions of the UBC (University of
British Columbia, Canada) shake test on the model of the Stanley Park
Popcorn in Vancouver, BC Canada go to:

http://www.stanleyparkecology.ca/programs/cob/journal/journal.htm

The UBC Earthquake Engineering Lab is
athttp://www.civil.ubc.ca/research/specializations/earthquake.php

The faculty member that performed the tests on the popcorn stand is
Carlos Ventura, his weblink
ishttp://www.civil.ubc.ca/people/faculty/faculty-ventura.php  If you
go down his list of publications you might find something useful -
just email him
and ask if he has a pdf. He does a fair bit of testing on unreinforced masonry.

Hope this helps.
