Overturning Behavior of Exhibits in the Museum Fixed by Nylon guts Based on Excitation Experiment

Abstract

It is important for seismic disaster prevention of exhibits in the museum to understand overturning behavior them by seismic ground motion. In this study, behavior of exhibits in the museum fixed by nylon guts have investigated simulated by excitation experiment for exhibit models with the same overturning limit acceleration and different masses. As a result, by increasing the friction coefficient at the bottom of the exhibit models, the sliding motion caused by overturning could be suppressed for all exhibit models, and the exhibit models could be prevented from overturning as long as the nylon guts did not break. Between the models with same overturning acceleration amplitude and different weight, effects of weight difference on overturning of the model are small.
