DEVELOPMENT OF SUBSTRUCTURE REAL-TIME ONLINE TESTING SYSTEM FOR SEISMICALLY ISOLATED BUILDING WITH A SMALL RESPONSE DELAY USING EXISTING EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT

Abstract

This paper describes development of substructure real-time online response testing system (SROLT) for seismically isolated building with a small response delay using existing experimental equipment. Authors made analytical examinations of the influence of response delay to the test results caused by using existing experimental equipment, and developed a control method to minimize the problem. It was demonstrated by various test results that the developed system has sufficient accuracy as SROLT for seismically isolated buildings.
