Abstract
Impact of furniture turnover onto human during strong motion was evaluated with shaking table test. The authors carried out two kinds of experiments. The first one was carried out in January 2012 using shaking table and dummy doll. Five kinds of strong motions were tested for three situations and two kinds of floor surfaces. Acceleration at the head and deformation on the chest were observed on the dummy doll. The result varied much and the authors decided to carry second experiment. The second experiment was carried out in September 2012 at the long-stroke shaking table at the Building Research Institute, Tsukuba. In the test, the authors evaluated the effect of weight of the furniture, distance from the dummy doll, and initial angle to turnover. As a result, the authors got some relations between head acceleration and initial value of the furniture, and chest viscous criterion and velocity of the impact.
