The commercial software platform SAP2000 has been used to design base isolated buildings supported by Triple PendulumTM isolators; however, limited full-scale test data are available to validate the use of the software for this application. Additionally, previous work has demonstrated that several pitfalls must be avoided when modeling these types of structures in SAP2000. The ability of SAP2000 to predict key engineering demand parameters used in the design of a base-isolated building is examined by using methods and assumptions employed in current design practice. The SAP2000 analysis results are compared to the data obtained from shake table tests of a full-scale base-isolated building and comparable predictions obtained from a more complex OpenSees analysis model of the same building. This study suggests that when methods and assumptions common to engineering practice are applied, SAP2000 can predict the responses with sufficient accuracy for design.

In the present study, few studies have focused on the horizontal plane of traditional wooden houses in Japan. This study aims to examine the retrofit effects for the horizontal plane of traditional wooden houses based on full-scale tests. The first part of this paper is devoted to the experimental study performed to determine the structural behavior and characteristics of full-scale roof specimens. A horizontal shear test was conducted to obtain the fracture mode and relationship between the applied load and deformation angle. The second part deals with a static pushover analysis of the full-scale roof specimens. The results between the experimental test and the static pushover analysis are presented and discussed. The analysis model used for the static pushover analysis is proposed; the results were in good agreement with the tests.

Most existing models and standards for volatile organic compounds emission assume that contaminants are uniform in the testing devices. In this study, a three-dimensional transient numerical model was proposed to simulate the mass transport process based on a full-scale test chamber with a mixing fan, and the airflow field and contaminants concentration distribution were obtained within the chamber under airtight and ventilated conditions. The model was validated by comparing the numerical results with experimental data. The numerical results show that the contaminant source position and the airflow field characteristics have significant impact on the contaminant mixing, and the fan rotation has an important role in accelerating mixing. In the initial mixing stage, the concentration distribution is obviously uneven; as the mixing progresses, it gradually reaches acceptable uniformity except for some sensitive regions, such as high concentration region at the injection point of the contaminants and low concentration region at the air inlet. To ensure test accuracy, the monitor should avoid above sensitive regions; and some special regions are recommended where contaminant concentration uniformity can be reached sooner. The ventilated chamber results indicate that the mixture of contaminants in the chamber is actually better than the results shown by conventional test method.
