A blind analysis contest has been conducted in conjunction with the full-scale experiment of total collapse of a four-story moment frame in September 2007 at the E-Defens [...]

The properties like the rigidity of a frame are very important to predict the dynamic response of the building with any dampers since the effect of dampers in a frame str [...]

In Japan there are 10 million inadequate wooden houses against building standard law and most of them (approximately 90 percent) are composed of conventional post-and-bea [...]

A full-scale four-story steel building tested on the E-Defense shake table was used as a case study to evaluate how well performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) g [...]

Realistic three-dimensional shaking table tests will be conducted in February and March 2009 for full-scale 5-story building specimens with dampers. The building will be [...]

The present paper describes three key issues as follows: (1) A major research program on passive control of buildings: Shaking table tests using E-Defense will be conduct [...]

This paper describes finite element analysis of subassemblies composed of beams, columns, and gusset plates in passively controlled buildings. Numerical analysis with con [...]

This paper discusses simplified theories on cumulative damage evaluation for elasto-plastic (EP) damper under earthquake ground motion. The theories are based on the seis [...]
