Shaking table testing of retrofitted 3-storey building
2013The paper investigates the seismic performance of an existing 3-storey structure, built in the 70's. Not complying with capacity design principles, the structure is prone to soft-storey collapse, calling for retrofit through addition of shear walls. Two alternatives are considered with respect to the foundation: (a) conventional design; and (b) rocking

Shake table testing of museum display cases
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2008Throughout history, objects of art have been damaged and sometimes destroyed in earthquakes. Research was undertaken to investigate the seismic vulnerability of art objects exhibited on display cases, and museum floor motions representative of Montreal seismic hazards were simulated for that purpose. Particular attention was paid to the effects on art

SHAKING TABLE TESTING OF RC WALLS
ISET Journal of Earthquake Technology, 2000Several large-scale wall specimens were recently tested nnder dynamic conditions on the shakingtable at LNEC (Lisbon). The main objective of this experimental programme was to assess the effectiveness of selective interveotion techniques for repair and streogthening of reinforced concrete walls.

Shaking Table Tests of Reinforced Concrete Frames
1997The purpose of the paper is to present a series of shaking table experiments performed at the Structural Laboratory at Aalborg University, Denmark during the autumn of 1996 and to show some selected results from these experiments. The aim of the tests was to test methods for identification of time-varying systems and to verify various methods for ...

Fiber Reinforced Concrete Frame Shaking Table Test
Advanced Materials Research, 2014Two full scale frames were tested on a shaking table to investigate seismic performance and fracture mechanism of fiber reinforced concrete in contrast to the plain concrete. The information about acceleration response, the maximum strain value as well as the time to reach it, the typical strain - time curves and the crack development of two test ...

Shaking table testing of geofoam seismic buffers
Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 2007The paper describes the experimental design and results of tests used to investigate the use of compressible EPS (geofoam) seismic buffers to attenuate dynamic loads against rigid retaining wall structures. The tests were carried out using 1-m-high models mounted on a large shaking table.

Shake Table Tests on Mobile Office Partitions
7aese – 7th International Conference on Advances in Experimental Structural Engineering, 2017Shake table tests are performed on temporary internal partitions for office buildings. Four different specimens are tested. A steel frame is designed to exhibit relative displacements, which typically occur at a given story of ordinary buildings. Four different partition walls are tested simultaneously for each specimen typology.

SHAKE TABLE TESTS OF CROSSLAM ASSEMBLIES
Cross-laminated timber, a modern wood-based construction material, has gained considerable attention in recent years due to its structural efficiency, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal. To ensure the safe and reliable implementation of CLT structures in seismic regions, it is vital to investigate their behaviour during seismic events.openaire +1 more source
