Shaking Table Testing

2008
This chapter reflects the first of the four lectures that the author has presented at Udine, Italy, at CISM-International Centre for Mechanical Sciences, in June 2007, in the aim of the course “New Approaches to Analysis and Testing of Mechanical and Structural Systems”.

Shake table testing of bookcase – partition wall systems

Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2004
This paper describes the seismic (shake table) tests conducted on bookcase – partition wall systems. These nonstructural building components can be considered acceleration sensitive (or motion sensitive) rather than drift sensitive. The shake table floor motions used for the seismic testing are described in a companion paper. One bookcase fully loaded

Shaking Table Testing of Adobe Masonry Structures

2021
This chapter presents the seismic simulation systems (shaking tables) as essential resources for experimental research on adobe masonry structures. An overview of selected relevant shaking tables existing in laboratories around the world gives an idea of the broad testing scope possible with this type of equipment.

Shaking table tests on a three-storey timber building

Proceedings of the ICE - Structures and Buildings, 2015
This paper reports on a shaking table test conducted on a timber-framed building sheathed with oriented strand board within the framework of the European Series project at the National Laboratory of Civil Engineering in Lisbon, Portugal. The test structure was a full-scale, three-storey, 7 m × 5 m plan building.

SHAKING TABLE TESTING OF RC WALLS

ISET Journal of Earthquake Technology, 2000
Several 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 testing of retrofitted 3-storey building

2013
The 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 tests of structures subject to pounding

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2019
SummaryPounding between adjacent structures during earthquakes may significantly modify their response in terms of forces and displacements. In addition, it has a considerable influence on acceleration and thus on floor response spectra. Therefore, pounding may be unfavorable to the response of equipment.

Shake table model testing and its application

The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, 2007
AbstractThis paper presents a study of shake table testing for aseismic design of structure systems. Two reinforced concrete structure models of different scales were used first to implement and demonstrate the similitude concept using available testing equipment.

Shaking table test of a mega steel structure

2011 Second International Conference on Mechanic Automation and Control Engineering, 2011
In order to investigate the seismic performance for a mega steel structure, a model with a scale of 1∶35 is adopted. Through the shaking table test, the model of isolated, prototype and energy dissipation structure under different earthquakes of 7 degree is discussed.

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.
