Optimization of the Use Time of a Shake Table with Specimen Preparation outside the Table Surface

The shake table test is one of the preferred techniques used to understand dynamic response a structure. However, due limited number facilities available perform such tests and their expensiveness, researchers often must rely on numerical models validated with results static only. Moreover, most research papers concerning lack details how were planned executed. This paper explains steps for preparation execution three reduced-scale buildings. These buildings constructed outside surface, metallic base frame, later moved in order optimize time experimental campaign. approach enabled us complete only 6 days. presented this may be helpful who want increase effectiveness facility overcome limitations budget. solution article helps displacement specimens without use crane or other sophisticated hydraulic machinery. Thus, it could also useful testing that have been aged are sensitive displacements.
