Shaking Table Test of Rectangular Liquid Container with Base-Isolation System

사각형 면진유체저장조의 진동대실험

The seismic behavior of a rectangular liquid container with high damping laminated rubber bearing is investigated through the scaled model tests. The results are compared with those for non-isolated model, and those by analytical methods. It is shown that the optimum dynamic properties of isolation system can reduce the acceleration response in the superstructure significantly and prevent the amplification of sloshing height.
