In the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake, a lot of suspended ceilings suffered damage and collapsed due to lack of their seismic performance. New seismic st [...]

E-Defense is the earthquake testing facility with the largest three-dimensional shake table and successfully completed 80 shaking tests so far, including three tests on l [...]

A dynamical substructuring system (DSS) is a substructuring methodology where a dynamical experiment is implemented on a physical substructure, plus real-time interaction [...]

The project of E-Simulator is under way at Hyogo Earthquake Engineering Research Center (E-Defense), which belongs to National Research Institute for Earth Science and Di [...]

Recently, the possibility that a high-rise building generates the vibration with large displacement amplitude against the long-period earthquake ground motions by the oce [...]

This paper introduces a large scale shake table experimental program on bridge structures using E-Defense. The program was formulated as one of the US-Japan cooperative r [...]
