Experimental Research on the Frictional Effects of the Slide-Roof System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experiments of a five-story steel frame on shaking table verify that the slide-roof system can markedly reduce vibration. When the ground motion is strong, the vibration reduction is effective and the influence from the static friction is little. The experiments show that this slide-roof system possesses good robustness to its friction.
