The roof model of the palace timber buildings was established according to the construction technology of the Ying-tsao fa-shih. Based on its analysis of dynamic behavior with shaking table test and ANSYS finite element software, the dynamic behavior of structure and its maximal response under different conditions were gotten, and also the dynamic magnification factor of the beams layer and the whole structure were gotten, at last the results got by shaking table test was compared with the numerical simulation. Research shows that the nature frequency of the model is 1.486 Hz which is much bigger than that of the whole structure; the maximal displacement of beam layer gradually increases with the increase of ground motion intensity and the height of structure; the vibration isolation performance of semi-rigid tenon-mortise joints in rare earthquake (400gal) is better than that in moderate earthquake (220gal) and frequent earthquake (110gal); the dynamic magnification factor between layers was about 1, and roof 0.9 or so.

Unreinforced stone masonry pagodas have great cultural value and should be detailed investigation its mechanical properties. These buildings were not designed to resist earthquakes in ancient China, at least not in the way of current methods. The objectives of this research were to understand the dynamic behavior of unreinforced stone masonry pagoda and its seismic performance. To accomplish these, a 1/12 scale model of China Dinosaurs Pagoda was constructed and tested on shaking table. The octangle model height is 3.96m, with aspect ratio of height to width is 2.93, both parameters exceed the stipulated limit of Code for Seismic Design of Building. The model built with the stones and motars similar to the prototype materials and the arrangements. Its dynamic behavior and seismic performance were tested on the shaking table towards the free vibration and three earthquake waves. The experimental program adopted in the research is explained in this paper.

To investigate the dynamic behavior of the frame structure which allows the columns to uplift, a shaking table test was conducted by using a 4-story frame structure model. The effect of the absence or presence of the uplift and the damper in the column on the dynamic behavior of the structure were clarified. Dynamic response of the traditional frame structure with damper was compared to that of structure with damper in the columns. By using damper in the columns, the seismic impact of the structure was controlled. It is confirmed that the frame structure which is allowed the columns to uplift has an adequate seismic ability.

The improvement of soft clay and dredged soils to carry structures is increasingly important. In this study, the dynamic behavior of a crushed stone foundation wall in clay soil was analyzed using a 1g shaking table test. The response accelerations and spectra for three input ground motions were analyzed relative to the distance from the foundation wall, confirming that the acceleration was damped from the outside. The acceleration according to the distance from the wall was not significant under long-period motions, while different responses were obtained under short-period motions. The increased ground stiffness provided by the crushed stone wall lowered the natural period of the ground, and the acceleration amplification under short-period seismic waves was larger than that under long-period waves. Finally, equations were derived to describe the relationship between the acceleration amplification ratio and distance from the wall. The slopes of the proposed equations are larger under shorter periods, implying that the change in acceleration change with distance from the wall is more significant under shorter periods. The results of this study can be used to inform the design of soft soil improvements and the structures built atop them.

The dynamic behavior of an unreinforced masonry wall is investigated through a shaking table test of two specimens. In order to represent a non-engineering one-story house, the first specimen consists of a Cshaped structure with masonry walls connected only at their ends. The second specimen is built to represent an upper story, so the C wall is connected at the top by a wooden diaphragm floor, and a weight is suspended onto it. The test results show each specimen exhibits different behaviors. In the first specimen, an out-of-plane failure mode governs. In the second specimen, a shear failure mode governs.
