Modelling the structural behaviour of the fold-away shelter
… underwent non-destructive monotonic load tests and destructive shake table test. The timber-framed shear walls with different sheatings; namely wood wool cement boards (wwcb) and F11 structural plywood were tested under uniaxial loading. Furthermore, finite element models (FEM) …

Seismic Performance of Prestressed Concrete Piles In Cip Reinforced Concrete Pile Caps
… and ductility of these connections, full-scale tests have been conducted at the University of South Carolina structures lab. Test specimens consisted of 18 in. diameter square piles cast in representative CIP bent cap segments. Two interior pile specimens and one exterior pile specimen with 18 …

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 …

Improved seismic analysis of unreinforced masonry buildings with flexible diaphragms
… is also investigated, and validated against shake table test data. Finally, the applicability of nonlinear static procedures utilising single-mode, multi-mode and adaptive pushover analyses are investigated. Practical recommendations are provided for the use of various pushover analysis …

Estimating the effectiveness of stone columns in mitigating post-liquefaction settlement using Plaxis 2D
… settlement is validated by replicating a shake table test performed on Ottawa F-55 sand. Results are compared with a previous numerical study inspired by the same experiment. After validation, a generic numerical model is proposed, and the performance of the natural ground and the …

EXAMINATION OF PRECAST CONCRETE DIAPHRAGM SEISMIC RESPONSE BY THREE-DIMENSIONAL NONLINEAR TRANSIENT DYNAMIC ANALYSES
… the model in integrated analysis-driven physical testing: These experiments occurred at Lehigh University (LU) with project collaborators. The loading in these tests were controlled by NLTDA of the 3D analytical model. The tests were used to examine the seismic response of key joints (critical …

Multi-resonant Electromagnetic Shunt in Base Isolation for Vibration Damping and Energy Harvesting
… base-isolated building. The impact hammer test shows that the multi-resonant electromagnetic shunt can achieve enhanced vibration suppression by reducing the first resonant peak by 27.50dB and the second resonant peak by 22.57dB regarding the primary structure acceleration. The shake table …

Performance of shape memory alloy rehabilitated bridge columns under sequential earthquakes
… objectives are established. First, a series of shake table test is carried out to investigate dynamic responses of SMA retrofitted/repaired RC columns. Two reduced scale (1/6th) RC cantilever columns retrofitted or repaired with SMA spirals at the plastic hinge zones are tested under …

Modelling the Post-Peak Response of Existing Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures Subjected to Seismic Loading
… are verified against quasi-static cyclic and shake-table test results of column and frame specimens. The model is shown to be sufficiently accurate not only in terms of total response, but more crucially in terms of individual deformation components. Overall, it is believed that the accuracy, …

Seismic experimental analyses and surrogate models of multi-component systems in special-risk industrial facilities
… for NSCs; ii) the need for fully comprehensive testing campaigns data on coupling effects between main structures and NSCs. In this respect, this doctorate thesis introduces a computational framework for an efficient and accurate seismic state-dependent fragility analysis; it is based on a …

Shake table experiments for the determination of the seismic response of jumbo container cranes
… modern cranes have become larger and more stable, and the industry experts are now questioning the seismic performance of modern jumbo cranes. The main goal of this research was to experimentally investigate the seismic behavior of container cranes from the general elastic behavior through …

Performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) methodology for multi-story buildings with full-scale experimental validation
… by conducting a series of full-scale tests on a four-story 370 m² (4,000 ft²) soft-story wood-frame building at the outdoor uni-axial shake table at the University of California - San Diego's Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) laboratory. The test provided the …
