Shaking table test of earthquake-damaged masonry structure strengthened with external BFRP
IABSE Reports, 2013<p>Externally bonded FRP has been regarded as an effective strengthening technique, but its application in the retrofitting of damaged confined masonry buildings hasn't been studied. This paper conducted a research on a scaled three-story confined masonry structures before and after retrofitted with BFRP. The masonry model was initially tested to

Shaking table tests on seismic earth pressure under large earthquake loads
2009In order to establish practical design procedure of retaining structure, it is important to evaluate seismic active earth pressure rationally under large earthquake loads. In the current earthquake design procedure, the Mononobe-Okabe theory is often employed to evaluate the seismic active earth pressure. Since this theory is simply derived from method

Horizontal shaking table tests on structures using innovative earthquake mitigation devices
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2009Abstract Viscoelastic (VE) devices have been widely used to mitigate the dynamic responses of the structures resulting from the earthquake or the strong wind for more than 20 years. These devices are usually installed in the upper portion of the structures to reduce the vibration responses.

Development of space-saving mechanism in shaking table systems for earthquake simulators
2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC), 2016This paper presents a development of shaking table mechanism, where the purpose is to generate vibrations in multiple directions in a space-saving manner as compared to the conventional shaking table mechanism. Since the proposed shaking table mechanism sets up each actuator in horizontal excitation direction on the side of the table, the movement of ...

Health Monitoring of Structural and Biological Systems XII, 2018
Earthquake can cause severe damage to structures, the assessment of structural performance, before, during, and after an extreme event, is critical for ensuring their safe operations and resiliency to potentially catastrophic events. However, the conventional monitoring methods need complicate sensors, acquisition devices and data transmission system ...

Design and development of a fuzzy-PLC for an earthquake simulator/shake table
2014 International Conference on Humanoid, Nanotechnology, Information Technology, Communication and Control, Environment and Management (HNICEM), 2014This study presents the development of a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for an earthquake simulator or shake table. This includes the use of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as the main controller and the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) as the motor's inverter drive. Combination of ladder logic diagrams (LLD), structured texts (ST) and function block

Shaking table test and dynamic response prediction on an earthquake-damaged RC building
Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration, 2004This paper presents the results from shaking table tests of a one-tenth-scale reinforced concrete (RC) building model. The test model is a protype of a building that was seriously damaged during the 1985 Mexico earthquake. The input ground excitation used during the test was from the records obtained near the site of the prototype building during the ...

A New Concept for a Shaking-table for Earthquake Simulation
1986A project is presented for a shaking-table for the direct testing of earthquake-resistant buildings. The table consists of a reinforced concrete platform capable of undergoing horizontal displacements only: these can be varied, separately, within very wide limits in two orthogonal directions.
