Shake table testing of hybrid wood shear wall system
… re-center. This thesis presents the results of a shake table test program that focused on testing of a one-story full-scale hybrid wood shear wall system comprised of a post-tensioned CLT wall panel with Light-frame wood shear (LiFS) wall panels on each side. The testing was conducted at CSU's …

Scale Model Shake Table Testing of Underground Structures in Soft Clay
… empirical gap through the use of scale model shake table testing. Underground seismic soil-structure interaction (USSSI) effects were investigated for a stiff rectangular tunnel cross-section embedded within soft clay. San Francisco Young Bay Mud was used as a prototype soil for developing a …

Scale Model Shake Table Testing of Seismic Earth Pressures in Soft Clay
<p>This research consists of scale model shake table tests to investigate the development of seismic earth pressures in soft clay. The soft clay was modeled after prototype San Francisco Bay Mud consisting of a mixture of kaolinite, bentonite, class C fly ash and water. A flexible walled testing …

Scale Model Shake Table Testing of Shallow Embedded Foundations in Soft Clay
<p>This research involves shake table testing of 1g scale models that mimic the coupled seismic response of a structure on a shallow mat foundation and foundation soil (known as soil-foundation-structural-interaction or SFSI). In previous research, SFSI effects have been quantified through …

Distributed real-time hybrid simulation: Modeling, development and experimental validation
… of equipment and space compared to traditional testing methods such as shake table testing, laboratory resources may not always be available in one location to conduct appropriate large-scale experiments. Consequently, distributed systems, capable of connecting multiple RTHS setups located at …

Construction and seismic testing of a resilient two-story mass timber structure with cross laminated rocking walls
… This thesis summarizes the construction and testing details of a full scale shake table testing program for a two-story mass-timber structure with a resilient post-tensioned rocking wall lateral system made from cross laminated timber (CLT) product. The post-tensioned rocking walls helped to …
