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.

Shaking table test is an important method to study seismic performance of geotechnical structures. Processing the similarity relation and deducing the response of original mold correctly are very important. Based on similarity theory, the paper adopts a dimensional analysis method to solve almost all similar constants, and provides a practical method on designing subgrade model of shaking table test. During the model designing process, several basic similar constants are defined at first and other main similar constants are obtained according to the basic similar constants. This method is applied in practical earthquake simulated shaking table test. Partial results are compared with the theoretical calculation result. The experimental result which is in concordance to the theoretical calculation result can reflect the seismic response rules of subgrade correctly. So the practical designing method is feasible.

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.

In this paper, FBG sensors are used to monitor and analyze the response of reinforced concrete frame-shear wall model in shaking table test in order to study the placement of sensors and the protection of the transmission lines. Based on the experiment data, the destructive mode and dynamic characteristics in earthquake are obtained through (by) analyzing the dynamic response of the structures. The experiment results show that using FBG is effective in monitoring the structures.
