Research on Shaking Table Test of Base and Story Isolation Structures

Abstract:

The shaking table tests are conducted on a 5-floor steel frame model with a scale down of 1:6. The traditional anti-seismic structure and isolation structures with isolation layer in different position are adopted. The results indicate that the natural vibration periods of isolation structure are longer than anti-seismic structure, and when the isolation layer is located in a lower position, the period becomes longer and the damping effect is better.
