Abstract
The motion of the container cranes were accompained by uplifting of their legs during the 1995 Hyogoken-nambu Earthquake. Another from of damage was overturning, followed by derailment and tilting of the structure, which particularly affected the hinged-leg structures. The other side, it seems that quay walls are also damaged due to crane's loading and uplifting phenomena. Therefore, in this paper, to investigate the dynamic behavior of response controlled container crane, we carried out an excitation test on a 1/15 reduced scale model. From the test results, it became evident that the response of crane and reaction force of the crane's rail are reduced and the uplifting phenomenon of crane's legs is evaded.
