Shaking table test of a quarter-scale 20-story reinforced concrete building model was carried out. Employed input waves were kinds of long period and long duration ground motion. Test results showed that structural slabs were fully effective for building strength, which could be expressed in detailed analysis using nonlinear FEM. However, the observed hysteretic damping after yielding was fairly smaller than the expected by the current design custom, which caused smaller and unsafe estimated response than that observed in the test.

Though seismic isolation technology has been applied widely in civil engineering and proved effective, it is not used in large aqueduct. Shaking table test experiment was made on anti-seismic problem of a large aqueduct in South-to-north Water Transfer Project. First, a single span aqueduct model is designed and made. Then, several isolation bearings are designed for experiment. At last, the structure system dynamic responses were presented with isolation bearing mounted and not under different period earthquake loads for different working conditions. The results show that by using isolation bearings, which can play an important role in large aqueduct anti-seismic problem, the structure dynamic response can be reduced effectively.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamical behavior of a combined three-story building with a 3D panel wall system including a soft story irregularity at the very first floor by doing a shaking table test. The upper two stories of the model were made out of the 3D panel system, while the first story was constructed only with moment-resisting RC frames. Design/methodology/approach Besides the experimental program, the numerical finite element method was implemented for the verification of the experimental results. In the experimental study, the building responses including the floors’ accelerations and drifts were considered, and the seismically vulnerable zones were reported and compared with that provided by the implemented FEM-based program. Findings After the shaking table test, the major cracks appeared at the end of each column and beam-column connections. Some negligible cracks were also visible around the beam-panel connections. However, no crack was seen in the upper stories. The lateral deformation of the studied building was investigated under the applied ELC25 and NGH135 earthquakes. Under the both aforementioned ground motion records, the first story drift was larger than two upper stories, since the moment-resisting frame was a soft story. The hysteretic relation between the shear and displacement for each story was studied. Under the applied ELC25 earthquake, the system remains linear and the stiffness of each story is obtainable as well. Originality/value This is the first time when the dynamical behavior of a combined system is studied and tested experimentally and numerically for data validation. Regarding the response of the assumed combined structure, the 3D panel system has a remarkable rigidity with respect to the conventional RC frames, also 3D panels have less weight than the moment-resisting frames.

Settlement of surface structures due to subsoil liquefaction is a big issue in geotechnical engineering. It has been happening during earthquakes in liquefaction-prone areas for many years. Mitigations have been proposed for this problem. The improved soil slabs and vertical mixing soil walls combined with lowering ground water levels (GWLs) were proposed in this study. Experiments were carried out by adopting a 1-g shaking table test. Two different soil densities with uniform and eccentric loads were included. Combined with lowering GWLs, three different soil slabs with a length of 40, 60 and 80 cm and two different mixing walls with soil and plastic were studied and compared. Results show that the horizontal soil slabs have good performance to reduce the settlement of structures. On the other hand, the vertical soil mixing walls did not reduce the settlement effectively, but its performance could be improved by lowering of GWLs.
