Bidirectional Shaking Table Tests of a One-fourth Scale Reinforced Concrete Space Frame
Shaking table tests on the 1/4th-scale three-story reinforced concrete frames were carried out to investigate the effects of bidirectional earthquake motions on overall nonlinear response of reinforced concrete frame buildings. Two identical models were constructed and one was subjected to bidirectional horizontal earthquake motions and the other was subjected to unidirectional one. A series of...
متن کاملEstimation of Prestress Force Distribution in the Multi-Strand System of Prestressed Concrete Structures
Prestressed concrete (PSC) is one of the most reliable, durable and widely used construction materials, which overcomes the weakness of concrete in tension by the introduction of a prestress force. Smart strands enabling measurement of the prestress force have recently been developed to maintain PSC structures throughout their lifetime. However, the smart strand cannot give a representative ind...
متن کاملEstimation of Prestress Force Distribution in Multi-Strand System of Prestressed Concrete Structures Using Field Data Measured by Electromagnetic Sensor
The recently developed smart strand can be used to measure the prestress force in the prestressed concrete (PSC) structure from the construction stage to the in-service stage. The higher cost of the smart strand compared to the conventional strand renders it unaffordable to replace all the strands by smart strands, and results in the application of only a limited number of smart strands in the ...
متن کاملAn Expert System for Shaking Table Diagnostics
An expert system, for fault diagnosis of shaking table operations, is presented. The system is designed as one element of an integrated, computer-based method for plant enhancement, for application in the mineral processing industry. The relationship between expert and conventional software techniques is discussed. The system is based on prod uc tion rule s and has been wri tten in the PROLOGla...
متن کاملOn the Optimum Placement of Dissipators in a Steel Model Building Subjected to Shaking-Table Tests
The following research presents the numerical and experimental results obtained on a reduced scale steel model of a medium-rise building structure dynamically protected with energy dissipaters. The steel-steel friction dissipates energy as the structure undergoes interstory drifts. A preliminary numerical analysis is performed to determine the best position of the friction dampers in the longit...
