Shaking Table Test Using Multipurpose Test Bed
Abstract eng: 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 inertia supported by linear slider bearings in each layer. It supports its own weight, and provides a horizontal inertia force to the specimen frame when it is connected each other and placed on the shaking table. In this paper, shaking table tests with a single-story sample frame with beam-end dampers are conducted. The test results are compared with the analytical results and the performances of the setup system are discussed.
