Centrifuge Model Tests

Two geotechnical centrifuge model tests of a soil-structure system with different burial depths are performed to investigate the interaction between soil and structure. The tests are performed at 50 gravitational centrifuge accelerations and the input motion is Kobe wave. This paper focuses on the accelerations and displacements in the soil-structures system. The peak accelerations and displacements along the axis of the structure and along the vertical line 17cm away from the axis are presented. The acceleration and displacement response due to the interaction between soil and structure are studied.

Story Building

<p>The paper discusses results of shaking table tests on an in-scale high-rise building model. The purpose was to calibrate a dynamic numerical model for multi-hazard analyses to investigate the effects of floor acceleration. Accelerations, because of vibration of non-structural elements, affect both the comfort and safety of people. The research investigates the acceleration effects of both seismic and wind forces on an aeroelastic in-scale model of a multi-story building. The paper discusses the first phase of experiments and gives results of floor accelerations induced by several different base seismic impulses. Structural analyses were first performed on the full-scale prototype to take soil-structure interaction into account. Subsequently the scale model was designed through aeroelastic scale laws. Shaking table experiments were then carried out under different base accelerations. The response of the model and, in particular, amplification of effects from base to top are discussed.</p>

Structure Interaction

Shaking table test on soil-structure interaction system in harder site condition is presented briefly in this paper. Three-dimensional finite element analysis on shaking table test is carried out using ANSYS program. The surface-to-surface contact element is taken into consideration for the nonlinearity of the state of the interface of the soil-pile and an equivalent linear model is used for soil behavior. By comparing the results of the finite element analysis with the data from shaking table tests, the computational model is validated. Based on the calculation results, the paper gives the seismic responses under the consideration of soil-structure interaction in harder site condition, including acceleration response, contact analysis on soil pile interface and so on.

Cultural Relics

Cultural relics are precious properties of all humankind, the damage of which is nonresilient. In previous earthquakes, stored cultural relics have shown poor seismic performance, so effective seismic methods are urgently needed. However, due to various restrictions, traditional damping methods are not suitable for the cultural relics stored in the Palace Museum. An efficient damping method, composed of silicone damper and connecting elements, is proposed to protect these stored cultural relics. This novel damping device is very convenient to install and no change or move for the original structures is needed. It is suitable for various kinds of new and existing relic cabinets. In order to validate the effectiveness of this novel damping method, both numerical simulation and shaking table tests are carried out. Results show that this method can effectively enhance the seismic performance of relic cabinet itself and the internal cultural relics. Relic cabinets with damping devices deform significantly less than noncontrol cabinets while the inside relics also have less sliding or overturning. Overall, a damping method, designed for seismic protection of cabinet stored cultural relics, is proposed and its effectiveness has been successfully demonstrated.

Nonlinear Numerical Simulation

In this paper, to verify the effectiveness and reliability of nonlinear numerical simulation based fiber model, two computer programs (CANNY 99 and IDARC-2D), in which shear wall elements were respectively simplified by fiber model and equivalent beam model, were adopted to perform the numerical simulations of 10 times shaking table tests of a nine story 1:6 scale frame-shear wall building model in this paper. Analysis model including beam, column and wall element in CANNY 99 is elaborated in detail. Test results are compared with simulation results in some aspects such as natural frequency, time history responses, and peak value responses. Results demonstrate that fiber model and Equivalent beam model can simulate the elastic-plastic earthquake response of R.C. wall structures very well.
