Shake-table tests of rectangular wooden blocks of various size and slenderness were conducted. Single blocks as well as block assemblies were exposed to harmonic and earthquake base excitation. The experiments were followed by an analytical study of response of the single blocks and a numerical simulation using the Distinct Element Method (DEM). Prior to the commence of the DE simulation, preliminary analyses were conducted to evaluate material parameters. Comparing the recorded time histories with those given by the analytical study and the DE simulation, reasonably good agreement was found. The Distinct Element model in use appeared to follow the highly nonlinear motion of rigid body assemblies faithfully to reality. On the basis of the results we can regard the DEM as a good tool to simulate the response of interior objects to dynamic excitation. ƒL[ƒ[ƒhi‰pjF - ‹LŽ–‹æ•ªF - ‹æ•ª @@@ˆÏˆõ‰ï˜_•¶W
