An integrated VE damping and FRP strengthening system for performance-based seismic retrofit of RC columns
… FRP sheets and concrete were investigated, and shake table tests were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed system. Test results show that VE properties can be related to excitation frequency and temperature by KASAI equation. The proposed bonding and anchoring mechanisms can …

Measuring Liquefied Residual Strength Using Full-Scale Shake Table Cyclic Simple Shear Tests
<p>This research consists of full-scale cyclic shake table tests to investigate liquefied residual strength of #2/16 Monterey Sand. A simple shear testing apparatus was mounted to a full-scale one-dimensional shake table to mimic a confined layer of saturated sand subjected to strong ground …

Influence of Diaphragm Flexibility on the Out -of -Plane Dynamic Response of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
… to earthquake motions. Results from a set of shake table tests reveal that, in general, the walls performed very well despite the intensity of the base motion and the slenderness of the wall. This was due to the formation of a hinge at the base of each wall; the hinge allowed each wall to …

Semi-active control of elastic and inelastic building structures with piezoelectric friction dampers
… of the control strategy was verified with shake table tests conducted on a 1/4 scale, 3-story frame structure.</p> <p>This study shows that the proposed control algorithm is quite adaptive to external loads and effective in suppressing structural responses due to multi-level earthquake …

Seismic performance, design and placement of multiple tuned mass dampers in building applications
… in terms of the reduction of floor acceleration. Shake table tests have confirmed that the proposed procedure gives rise to a sub-optimal design and placement of MTMD systems. In addition, the decoupling criteria for primary-secondary systems are also studied as a supplement to the study of TMD …

Construction and seismic testing of a resilient two-story mass timber structure with cross laminated rocking walls
… 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 dissipate seismic forces while …

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 …

Full-Scale Shake Table Cyclic Simple Shear Testing of Liquefiable Soil
<p>This research consists of full-scale shake table tests to investigate liquefaction of sandy soils. Consideration of the potential and consequences of liquefaction is critical to the performance of any structure built in locations of high seismicity underlain by saturated granular materials as it …

Seismic experimental analyses and surrogate models of multi-component systems in special-risk industrial facilities
… of data acquired from an extensive experimental shake table test campaign on a full-scale prototype industrial steel frame structure and the most recent surrogate-based UQ forward analysis advancements. Specifically, the framework is applied to a real-world application consisting of seismic shake …
