Abstract

buildings civil engineering seismology
A brief summary of techniques used in earthquake simulation testing of small-scale concrete structures is presented. Actual prototype concrete structures tend to be very heavy, and even small-scale replicas of these present weight problems for many of the existing earthquake-simulator test facilities. Nonlinear, ultimate strength models need to be employed in this type of shaking table investigation. Included is a discussion of similitude, model materials, distortion of mass density scale, and choice of scale factor.
