This paper summarises the authors' experience in the design and implementation of an innovative course in structural engineering education. A course on structural form and behaviour of “non-conventional” or space structures, which primarily focuses on form-finding through physical modelling, is described, although, where appropriate, computer modelling is also encouraged. Several case studies of student work are presented and the insights acquired by the students are discussed. It is concluded that the design of space structures, based on qualitative assessment of their functionality and performance, should be given more prominence within the civil and structural engineering curriculum.

Using a shake-table, the effects of several stone pebble layer parameters (the layer thickness, the fraction of pebbles, the pebble compaction, the pebble moisture, the vertical contact stress below the foundation, and the effect of repeated excitations) on layer aseismic efficiency were investigated. For each considered parameter, a model of a rigid building on an aseismic layer was exposed to four different accelerograms, with three levels of peak ground acceleration (PGA), while all other layer parameters were kept constant. For each test, the characteristic displacements and accelerations were measured. Based on the test results, the main conclusions regarding the effect of the considered parameters on the effectiveness of the adopted aseismic layer are given.

To make Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) more acceptable by the public, there is a need to conform to the stringent safety criteria evolved continuously. Among the several safety aspects, the seismically induced effects call more attention at the present scenario. But the adequate full scale testing of the critical components can render a more realistic simulation. Extensively shake table testing is used for the seismic qualification and research purposes. It provides the means to excite structures in such a way that they are subjected to conditions representative of true earthquake ground motions. The seismic qualification tests were conducted as per the test procedure given in IEEE STD 344-1987 standards: IEEE recommended practice for seismic qualification of class 1E equipment for Nuclear Power Generating Station. Valves are one of the active components in the SFR system. The seismic operability of active components can be established only by shake table testing. Shake table testing includes fixing of the equipment into the shake table, exiting the table with a seismic excitation equal to or larger than the design earthquake, resonance search test in all the three directions for 1 to 50 Hz to identify the system frequencies and assessment of the functionality and structural integrity of the valve during and at the end of the test. The valve that has been experimentally qualified completed type test for OBE & SSE cycles, the same will not be utilized in the reactor application. The methodology involved in the seismic qualification of the unconventional valve presented in this paper. Among the various shake table experiments carried out for the seismic qualification unconventional valves, the experiment carried out for the Inclined Fuel Transfer Machine (IFTM) Gate valve is referred in this paper for the above purpose. It is one of the unconventional type large in size and heavy gate valve available in the SFR system
