Abstract: A full-scale earthquake simulation of a five-story steel moment frame building at E-Defense, the world’s largest single shake table facility in Miki, Japan, in August 2011 provided realistic data to improve and validate ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on a horizontal-vertical coupling effect observed in a full-scale shake table experiment of a 5-story moment frame building isolated with triple pendulum bearings. A significant increase or amplification ...
