Shake
Table Tests Validation of FRAME:
The
analytical model FRAME was used to predict the
behavior of specimens tested on the University of
British Columbia Civil Engineering Department’s
shake table.
The
following figure shows a column, supporting a mass
M, connected at its base through an arrangement of
dowels. The
following figures show a comparison of the
predicted time histories for a six-dowel
connection and two types of earthquakes: 1)
Landers, California (1992) Joshua Tree Station,
and 2) Kobe, Japan (1995).
More
complete details on these tests are included in a
Master's thesis by Mr. Ernie Wong, Department of
Civil Engineering, University of British Columbia,
November 1999.
