Shake table testing of bookcase – partition wall systems
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2004This 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

Shake table tests of structures subject to pounding
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2019SummaryPounding 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.

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

Shaking Table Testing of Adobe Masonry Structures
2021This 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 testing of multidrum columns and portals
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2014SUMMARYA common type of ancient monuments around the Mediterranean is the ancient Greek temple. Unfortunately, very few remain intact; most of them surviving in the form of free‐standing multidrum columns. Composed of stones resting on top of each other without any connection, such columns are considered vulnerable to earthquakes. The paper presents an

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.

Shake table model testing and its application
The Structural Design of Tall and Special Buildings, 2007AbstractThis 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.

Shake table testing of a base isolated model
Engineering Structures, 2002The seismic characteristics of a five-storey benchmark model isolated with rubber bearings have been studied using a shake table. Experimental modal analyses using impact excitation, a HP-VXI data acquisition system and LMS CADA-X software were conducted to identify dynamic parameters of the benchmark model with and without rubber bearings. The natural
