Analytical investigations of steel roof structures with supporting substructures have shown that the roof response, including vertical vibration, is coupled with the response of the supporting substructure. However, the seismic response of roof structures including energy-dissipation members has not yet been verified by full-scale shaking table experiments. In this study, shaking table tests of a complete near-real scaled roof model with energy-dissipation members at the supporting substructure are conducted to clarify the actual response characteristics, the response reduction effects, and the collapse behavior of the roof structure.
