Shaking Table Model Test

A building developed by Wuhan Shimao Group in Wuhan, China, is a high-rise residence with 56 stories near the Yangtze River. The building is a reinforced concrete structure, featuring with a nonregular T-type plane and a height 179.6 m, which is out of the restrictions specified by the China Technical Specification for Concrete Structures of Tall Building (JGJ3-2010). To investigate its seismic performance, a shaking table test with a 1/30 scale model is carried out in Structural Laboratory in Wuhan University of Technology. The dynamic characteristics and the responses of the model subject to different seismic intensities are investigated via the analyzing of shaking table test data and the observed cracking pattern of the scaled model. Finite element analysis of the shaking table model is also established, and the results are coincident well with the test. An autoregressive method is also presented to identify the damage of the structure after suffering from different waves, and the results coincide well with the test and numerical simulation. The shaking table model test, numerical analysis, and damage identification prove that this building is well designed and can be safely put into use. Suggestions and measures to improve the seismic performance of structures are also presented.

The reinforced concrete (RC) frame-tube structure considered in the study has two towers with lapping transfer columns. The lapping transfer columns, considering aesthetic requirement in elevation, lead to a complex vertical force transfer system. The large irregularity in elevation, according to Chinese code, necessitates a detailed study. A 1/15-scaled model of the high-rise building was tested on a shaking table to evaluate its seismic performance. The model was subjected to earthquake inputs representing frequent, basic, rare, and extremly rare earthquakes. The results of shaking table test in terms of the global and local responses as well as the dynamic properties are presented. The tests demonstrate that the designed structural system satisfies the pre-defined performance objectives and the lapping transfer columns have good seismic peformance. To better control seismic damages of the building, some suggestions for improving the design of this structure are also put forward at last.

Central columns have long been demonstrated to play a vital role in withstanding not only static gravity loads but also seismic loads like earthquakes. A series of modeling tests are implemented on shaking table instrument to reflect the mechanism of soil — structure interaction and examine the validity of method of uplifting underground structural seismic resistance through strengthening central columns. An innovative method of enhancing central columns by adhering carbon fiber cloth onto column’s peripheral surface is introduced into a series of shaking table modeling tests, in which two two-layer underground model structures are constructed for comparison, one without any column remedy acts as a benchmark for reference and the other is amended with carbon fiber cloth adhered on column surface. Test results show that soft round model box adopted in tests serves well in simulating earthquake actions with negligible boundary effects on wave transfer; soil dynamic characteristics and the relative stiffness of structure to surrounding soil will interactively limit mutual motion and deformation. Racking deformation assumption may be not applicable for overall two-layer underground structure deformation analysis, but may be suitable for inter-layer displacement calculation for single layer in multi-layer rectangular underground structures. The adopted column enhancement measure could not only greatly increase the stiffness ratio of model structure to soil, reducing structure deformation, but also improve the integrity of underground structure by narrowing down the deformation difference between two structural layers, certifying that such a measure could be validly used in improving the seismic resistance capacity for already built underground structures without enough aseismic consideration when designed.

In recent decades, structural engineering tends to progress toward more novel high-rise structures under the requirement of realistic functions and architectural aesthetics. The complex high-rise building structure in this study has two towers with lapping transfer columns. The lapping transfer columns, considering aesthetic requirement in elevation, lead to a complex system of vertical force transfer. The large irregularity in elevation, according to Chinese code, needs a detailed study. A 1/15-scaled model of the structure was tested on the shaking table to evaluate its seismic performance. During the tests, the model was subjected to earthquake inputs representing frequent, basic, rare, and extremely rare earthquakes. The results of shaking table test in terms of the global and local responses as well as the dynamic properties are presented. The tests demonstrate that the designed structural system satisfies the pre-defined performance objectives and the lapping transfer columns are capable of coordinating the bi-level stories to resist lateral forces even under extremely strong earthquakes. To better control seismic damages of the building, some suggestions for improving the design of this structure are also put forward at last.

For analyzing reduction vibration effect of high-rise isolated structure with LRB, experimental research on shaking table of isolated structure model on a scale down of 1:16 in two-direction earthquake wave input was conducted. Ratio similitude design of model and earthquake wave input was unified for reflection dynamical characteristic of actual structure in the test. Earthquake responses of isolated top structure acceleration and interblended displacement have been analyzed. The experimental result indicts that isolated top structure acceleration and interblended displacement were reduced. Therefore the isolation technology for high-rise structure also has better reduction vibration effect.
