Study on Seismic Performance for Ways to Set Vending Machines in Outdoor Spaces Based on Shaking Table Test

Abstract eng:
This paper describes the results of 3D shaking table tests on the seismic behaviors of ways to set a vending machine. The major purpose of this study is to verify the actual seismic performance of the setting way with concrete blocks in an outdoor space. The tests were conducted with JIS-level and largest-scale earthquake motions. The following are revealed about the seismic behaviors of vending machines through the series of tests: 1) Even if a way to set a vending machine lacks resistance to overturning, it has enough seismic performance to resist overturning against the seismic load assumed in JIS; 2) The seismic behavior mode of a way to set a vending machine depends on the combination of resistance to overturning and setting surface.
