Note: * refers to the frequency of the fifth numerical mode. Figure 11: Experimental (left) and numerical (right) mode shapes for Reference Scenario RS (blue line: front side A01-A13; red line: back side A14-A26). With the purpose of matching the order of fourth and fifth mode shapes, a parametric study on the boundary conditions of the right abutment is conducted by introducing horizontal and vertical springs aimed at simulating the friction effect between the moving support and the ground floor, as well as its possible rotation. The analyses carried out varying the
