Instructional shake table for demonstrations in structural dynamics
Instructional Shake tables are an effective pedagogical tool for use in class room and lab, for teaching structural dynamics at advanced undergraduate and graduate level. A detailed study is carried out for a miniature shake table, currently used by the University Consortium of Instructional Shake …

Model-based feedforward-feedback control for real-time hybrid simulation of large-scale structures
… frameworks include quasi-static testing, shake table testing, and hybrid simulation. The tradeoffs in loading protocol make each experimental framework attractive in different situations. Hybrid simulation is a powerful, cost-effective framework for testing structural systems, closely …

Shake table experiments for the determination of the seismic response of jumbo container cranes
… yielding, utilizing the 6 degree-of-freedom shake tables at the University at Buffalo. The testing was divided into two phases. The first phase of testing was conducted on a 1/20th scale model. The second phase of testing was conducted on a 1/10th scale model, which was designed such that no …

Seismic response of adjacent structures on dry and saturated sand
… conducted using geotechnical centrifuges and 1g shake tables. However, further research is needed to enhance the understanding of this complex phenomenon. A particular case of SSI is that of structures founded in fine loose saturated sandy soil. An iconic example was the devastating effects of …

Seismic Analysis and Response of Highway Bridges with Hybrid Isolation
… isolated bridge were conducted using the NEES shake table array in the Large-Scale Structures laboratory at the University of Nevada Reno. With a scale factor of 2/5th, a three-span curved bridge model had a 12-ft wide superstructure consisting of three steel girders and a concrete deck slab, …

Multi-axial real-time hybrid simulation framework for testing nonlinear structure systems with multiple boundary interfaces
… compensation approach are first validated in a shake table study, and then applied to single and multi-axis RTHS developments. The capabilities of the proposed maRTHS framework are demonstrated via the multi-axial load and boundary condition boxes (LBCBs) at the University of Illinois …
