Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Study on the Seismic

Typical forms of seismic damage to laminated-rubber-bearing girder bridges in the transverse direction are falling beams, girder displacement, and bearing damage. However, the damage to piers and foundations is generally lighter. This is mainly due to slippage of the bearings. Therefore, we propose a new type of arc-shaped shear key to improve the lateral …

Shake Table 50th Anniversary | Pacific Earthquake …

Since its 1972 inauguration, the Shaking Table, located at the Richmond Field Station of UC Berkeley and managed by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center, has been very active and continues to introduce and employ innovative technology, and carry out cutting edge research related to the seismic behavior of structures and ...

Shake Table Testing Techniques: Current Challenges and …

Substructuring tests in a shake table (aka smart shake table tests) are a class of hybrid simulation that involves a shake table test of a physical substructure while the numerical substructure is modeled in a computational program, as shown in Fig. 8.9. A shake table can be used to conduct a hybrid test if its control scheme can interface with ...

1-g Shaking Table Test Study on the Influence of …

Caisson foundations are commonly used as the tower foundations in many long-span bridges. However, the seismic performance analysis of bridge structures using caisson foundations typically assumes that the tower is fixed at the base, applying the free-field ground acceleration to the base. Consequently, the impact of soil–caisson dynamic interaction (SCDI) …

Model Tests on Shaking Table

The sand material used for the shaking table test on the laminar box was the Skopje sand, i.e., the same sand analyzed and described in Chap. 2. To calibrate the sand for the shaking table test to the one used in the element testing (which was in much smaller amounts), several standard and triaxial tests were repeated.

Shaking Table Testing of Civil Engineering Structure

Keyword – Earthquake, Shaking table, Dynamic. facilities (Casirati et al, 1996) are among the few papers I- INTRODUCTION and 1:8 (ISMES). In order to adva T he use of shaking tables for the assessment of the dynamic and seismic behaviour of civil engineering structures is effective since the sixties. At the beginning,

Shaking table test study of accumulation layer landslide …

This shaking table model test uses the large-scale earthquake simulation shaking table of the Lanzhou Seismological Research Institute of Gansu Seismological Bureau. The size of the vibrating table is 4 m × 6 m, the maximum bearing capacity is 25 t, the maximum acceleration is 1.7 g, the maximum speed is 1.5 m/s, and the maximum displacement ...

Shaking table tests on seismic behaviors of a single-layer …

Shaking table tests were conducted to excite isolated and non-isolated model structures with various three-dimensional ground motions at multiple intensities. The seismic responses were then compared and estimated. The results provided vital experimental evidence for the feasibility of seismically isolated spherical lattice shells using SMA-FPBs.
