Shaking table tests were performed to investigate dynamic behavior of a three dimensional flexible rectangular liquid storage tank. Response characteristics to the three components of translational motion and three component of rotational motion were studied. The aluminium tank was exposed to the shaking high enough to make it behave in nonlinear range. Only very limited amount of the data have been processed yet. Very interesting phenomena on the effects of non-symmetry have been observed and presented. Test results that show nonlinear behavior under the high intensity shaking are reported.

본 연구에서는 건물모델만을 물리적인 실험체로 이용하여 동적 지반강성을 갖는 지반-구조물계의 동적거동을 모사하기 위한 하이브리드 진동대 실험법을 제안하고 이를 실험적으로 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제안되는 실험방법은 상부구조물과 진동대의 가속도를 계측하여 진동대 제어기로 피드백하고, 전체 지반-구조물계의 동적거동을 묘사하기 위해 요구되는 기초부분의 절대가속도 응답(가속도 피드백 방법) 또는 절대속도 응답(속도 피드백 방법)을 계산하여 진동대를 구동시키는 방법이다. 지반부분을 계산하기 위해서 이론적인 동적지반강성을 제안방법에 따라서 다르게 근사화하여 진동대 제어기에 반영함으로써 실험을 수행하였다. 기초 고정계 모델에 대한 실험으로부터 계측된 응답과 본 논문에서 가정한 지반-구조물 계에 대한 실험으로부터 측정된 응답을 비교하고, 진동대 제어기에 반영한 동적지반강성과 실험데이터를 이용하여 식별된 동적지반강성을 비교함으로써 본 논문에서 제안된 실험방법의 유효성을 검증하였다.

A shaking table test on a three-story one-bay steel frame model with metallic yield dampers and their parallel connection with oil dampers is carried out to study the dynamic characteristics and seismic performance of the energy dissipation system. It is found from the test that the combined energy dissipation system has favorable reducing vibration effects on structural displacement, and the structural peak acceleration can not evidently be reduced under small intensity seismic excitations, but in most cases the vibration reduction effect is very good under large intensity seismic excitations. Test results also show that stiffness of the energy dissipation devices should match their damping. Dynamic analysis method and mechanics models of these two dampers are proposed. In the analysis method, the force-displacement relationship of the metallic yield damper is represented by an elastic perfectly plastic model, and the behavior of the oil damper is simulated by a velocity and displacement relative model in which the contributions of the oil damper to the damping force and stiffness of the system are considered. Validity of the analytical model and the method is verified through comparison between the results of the shaking table test and numerical analysis.

Studies of soil dynamic properties in Malaysia are still very limited. This study aims to investigate the dynamic properties of two selected tropical residual soils (i.e., Sandy Clay and Sandy Silt) and a sand mining trail (Silty Sand) in Peninsular Malaysia using 1g shaking table test. The use of 1g shaking table test for soil dynamic testing is often constrained to large strain level and small confining pressure only. Three new experimental setups, namely large laminar shear box test (LLSBT), small chamber test with positive air pressure (SCT), and small sample test with suction (SSTS) are attempted with the aims of these experimental setups are capable of evaluating the dynamic properties of soils covering a wider range of shear strain and confining pressure. The details of each experimental setup are described explicitly in this paper. Experimental results show that the combined use of the LLSBT and SCT is capable of rendering soil dynamic properties covering a strain range of 0.017%-1.48% under confining pressures of 5-100 kPa. The studied tropical residual soils in Malaysia behaved neither as pure sand nor clay, but show a relatively good agreement with the dynamic properties of residual soils in Singapore. Effects of confining pressure and plasticity index on the studied tropical residual soils are found to be insignificant in this particular study.

This paper proposes the shaking table testing method, without any soil specimen only using building model as an experimental part, considering dynamic soil-structure interaction based on the substructure method. The two-layered soil is assumed as a soil model of the entire soil-structure interaction syhstem(SSI) in this paper. Differently from the constant soil stiffness, the frequency-dependent dynamic soil stiffness is approximated for the case of both acceleration and velocity feedback, respectively. The interaction force is observed from measuring the accelerations at superstructure. Using the soil filters corresponding to the approximated dynamic soil stiffness, the shaking table drives the acceleration or velocity, which the needed motion to give the building specimen the SSI effects. Experimental results show the applicability the proposed methodologies to the shaking table test considering dynamic soil-structure interaction.

The current paper presents the numerical blind prediction of nonlinear seismic response of two full-scale, three dimensional, one-story reinforced concrete structures subjected to bidirectional earthquake simulations on shaking table. Simulations were carried out at the laboratories of LNEC (Laboratorio Nacional de Engenharia Civil) in Lisbon, Portugal. The study was motivated by participation in the blind prediction contest of shaking table tests, organized by the challenge committee of the 15th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering. The test specimens, geometrically identical, designed for low and high ductility levels, were subjected to subsequent earthquake motions of increasing intensity. Three dimensional nonlinear analytical models were implemented and subjected to the input base motions. Reasonably accurate reproduction of the measured displacement response was obtained through appropriate modeling. The goodness of fit between analytical and measured results depended on the details of the analytical models.

The aim of the shaking table experiment is to verify the isolation effect of a storage liquid tank with multiple friction pendulum bearings. A 1:20 scale model of a real storage liquid tank that is widely used in the petroleum industry was examined by the shaking table test to compare its anchored base and isolated base. The seismic response of the tank was assessed by employing the time history input. The base acceleration, wave height and tank wall stress were used to evaluate the isolation effect. Finally, the influences of the bearing performance that characterizes the isolated tank, such as the friction force and residual displacement, were discussed.

This study is focused on the design and performance test of shaking table using stepping motor. Stepping motor can control the motion accurately with generated pulses and is applied to the shaking table. Earthquakes like El Centro and Taft are used as inputs to the shaking table. First, the number of pulses are calculated and sent to pulse generator. Then, the generator controls the table according to the pulse signs. It is shown that the measured signals from the table are in very good agreement with input signals of scale-downed earthquakes of El Centro and Taft. This table will be used for the experimental study of small-scaled building structures with tuned mass dampers under earthquakes.

Shaking table test is an important and useful method to help structural engineers get better knowledge about the seismic performance of the buildings with complex structure, just like Shanghai tower. According to Chinese seismic design guidelines, buildings with a very complex and special structural system, or whose height is far beyond the limitation of interrelated codes, should be firstly studied through the experiment on seismic behavior. To investigate the structural response, the weak storey and crack pattern under earthquakes of different levels, and to help the designers improve the design scheme, the shaking table model tests of a scaled model of Shanghai tower were carried out at the State Key Laboratory of Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China. This paper describes briefly the structural system, the design method and manufacture process of the scaled model, and the test results as well.

Recently the truction of coastal reclaimation work has been extensively implemented in Korea. The Sondo New City is being established on the reclaimed land from the sea, construction companies of metro construction are planing to pull-out the sheet pile for saving the construction cost. In the case of soft marine clay, it is very difficult to pull-out the sheet pile by using the hydraulic hammer difficult. Therefore, the man of the field must be aware of vibration effect to the ground and the structure. For understanding the vibration effect to the ground during subway construction, the model was formulated with 1/25 braced-cut for subway construction. Scott and Iai(1989) proposed the law of the similarity for other experimental conditions. The laboratory model test was conducted under the vibration condition of sheet pile pulling out. The settlement on the ground surface was measured during the shaking table test. The pore water pressure was also monitored in the upper, middle, and lower layers of soil. The field settlement level and the pore water pressure can be predicted by using the results of the laboratory shaking table test.
