Designation:
Tests of
shear panel devices on shaking tables
and reaction walls (TASK 2).
Project
Leader:
Joint Research Centre, Ispra,
Italy
Objectives:
The scope of this
task is a review of the advantages and
drawbacks of the two types of
experimental facilities for seismic
testing and the circumstances under
which their results can be compared.
A particular
structure has been designed to
illustrate the drawbacks of the
respective methodologies and to validate
countermeasures leading to enhancements.
Very specific experimental tests were
defined to illustrate the complementary
of both testing approaches. The
experimental procedures, boundary
conditions and input excitation signals
were thoroughly documented.
The Continuous
Pseudodynamic (CPsD) testing method or
Shaking Table testing method is
currently applied in all the large
structural testing facilities in Europe
and especially in the frame of the
EC-ECOEST2/ECOLEADER programmes. The
results of Task 2 mainly profit such
research Networks, who include most of
Europe’s earthquake engineering
specialists.
