Experimental Instruments and Results’ Analysis of a Shaking Table Model Test for a Complex High-Rise Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

Standing 250m above the ground level, the tower employs a complicated modern tall building system that involves the use of a reinforced core, two strengthened trusses and eight composite (concrete encased steel) mega-columns in the exterior perimeter of the building to resist vertical and lateral loads. A shaking table model test was carried out according to owner’s commission due to its complexity and the requirement of the Chinese Design Codes. In this paper, test equipments and test results were analyzed and some conclusions were given. The method applied in this model test will be helpful to other similar experimental studies.
