Shake table testing is a crucial tool for engineers, particularly for studying the seismic behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. Many historic buildings are constructed using URM, and understanding their behavior is crucial for their preservation and restoration. Full-scale shake table experiments are costly, pushing towards small-scale tests, especially when multiple tests are needed to perform a statistical model validation. However, creating accurate small-scale models at a 1:15 scale poses significant practical and scaling challenges. Given the stress-dependent nature of URM responses, centrifuge modeling is ideal for maintaining appropriate stress levels and mitigating scale effects. This study presents a preliminary centrifuge model test on a physical model of URM building constructed using a sand-based 3D printer to address small-scale manufacturing issues. As sand-based 3D printers can print only with a single material, mortar joints are physically modelled by printing notches. Unidirectional seismic action is applied using a shaking table mounted on the geotechnical beam centrifuge at ETH Zurich Geotechnical Centrifuge Center (GCC). The preliminary test results are compared to similar full-scale tests from the literature, evaluating the centrifuge models based on acceleration response, damage, and collapse mechanisms under increasing earthquake intensity.
