EVALUATION METHOD FOR 2-D SHAKING TABLE TEST OF 3-D STEEL FLAME MODEL BASED ON THE TRANSFERENCE OF ENERGY

Abstract

The evaluation method of experimental result of 1-D shaking table test is advanced to 2-D shaking table test. In this method, the transference of energy from shaking table to the specimen is focused. Energy applied to the shaking table is calculated by the output information of shaking table. In this study, a series of excitation of shaking table without specimen is carried out as a primary test. This primary excitation intends to clarify the coefficient of friction and the damping factor of actuator. Following the primary excitation, shaking table test of 3-D steel frame model is carried out. From the experimental result of shaking table test, evaluation method of experimental result is verified.
