2046) The Vibration Test of Multi-Story Building-Yokohama Dream-land High-Tower Hotel

1 Dynamic Test on a Multi – Tower Connected Building Structure

A multi-tower connected building, with large floor slab openings in plan and long-span truss in elevation, was studied because of its structural irregularity. First, a 1/25 scaled model structure was tested on the shake table under minor, moderate, and major earthquake levels. Then, the dynamic responses of the model structure were interpreted to those of the prototype structure according to th...

Experimental Verification of Wave Vibration Analysis of a Classical Multi-story Multi-bay Planar Steel Frame

Wave vibration analysis approach is found a systematic and concise approach in solving complex vibration problems in built-up frame structures. From the wave vibration standpoint, vibrations propagate along a uniform waveguide, and are reflected and transmitted at discontinuities. In this study, a multi-story multi-bay steel frame is built. The wave vibration analysis approach is applied to stu...

Distant ~otions from a Building Vibration Test By

Horizontal ground motion generated by vibration tests of the nine-story Millikan Library Building on the Caltech campus was recorded on 1he surface of the ground in the Pasadena area at distances up to 3 miles from the building. Later it was learned that the vertical component of the motion also was recorded by the seismograph on Mt. Wilson, 6.7 miles from the Library and 4,800 ft higher in ele...

construction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
