Abstract:
This paper presents the application of a novel structural testing method involving the combined use of shake tables and computational engines for the seismic simulation of soil-structure interaction (SSI) under multi-support ground input motion. The structure with soil to be simulated is divided into physical and numerical substructures, in which the building structure is seen as physical substructures and soil is seen as numerical substructures. The interface reaction between the physical and numerical substructures is imposed by the shake table as ground motion and the resulting acceleration is fed back to the computational device. The unique aspect of this method is to simulate the SSI systems subjected to multi-support excitation. Then the substructuring strategy and the control performance associated with the real-time substructuring testing for SSI were performed. Finally, the real-time substructuring experiments for a frame and a bridge subjected to earthquake excitation were implemented to verify the validity of the substructure testing for SSI. © 2011 EUCENTRE.
