AN EFFECT OF MORTISE AND RUBBER MAT TO DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTIC AND A SIMILARITY IN BLOCK MODEL EXPERIMENT

Abstract

 In this paper, we investigated the influence of mortise and rubber mat on the vibration characteristics using rectangular parallelepiped block model with mortise and rectangular parallelepiped block model without mortise. In addition, because the similarity rule of the shaking table experiment by the block model does not match the actual situation, the similarity rule applicable to the block model was also examined. The models are two types of wave absorbing block models with different scales. We could make sure that the mortise had the effect of improving the earthquake resistance from the shaking table test of a rectangular parallelepiped block model and the similarity law suitable for the block model existed from the shaking table experiment of the two kinds of wave absorbing block models.
