Abstract
In order to verify the seismic performance of medical facilities including its function maintenance, E-defense shaking tests with a full-scale four-story reinforced concrete model assuming a hospital were conducted. Two types of building were prepared: a seismic isolation structure and a seismic resistant structure. Both of the structures were input short period earthquake and long period earthquake, and then the seismic performance was compared. In general, the wave form reproducibility on the shaking table is import in the comparative excitation test. In this report, the results of considering of the relation between the excitation control methods and the structural characteristics and the wave form reproducibility are described.
