This paper describes a multipurpose setup system called “test bed” for large shaking table tests. The test bed comprises multi-story box-trusses with concrete mass of [...]

A shaking table test on a full-scale steel building was conducted at the E-Defense three-dimensional shake table facility to evaluate structural and functional performanc [...]

Recently, the number of monitoring reports of seismically isolated building is gradually increasing. In this paper, a long-term dense monitoring system of seismically iso [...]

This paper discusses the full-size experiment of beam-column-gusset plate assemblies. High strength and high ductility are required so that the passively-controlled struc [...]

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

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 [...]
