SHAKING TABLE TESTS ON A SEISMICALLY-ISOLATED LARGE-SPAN ARCH SUPPORTED BY BASE STRUCTURES

DEVELOPMENT OF RELATION FOR THE SEISMICALLY BASE ISOLATED STRUCTURES USING MODIFIED ABC ALGORITHM

In this paper, the effective parameters on the ductility demand of the seismically base isolated structure are investigated, and then a relation between the strength reduction factor and the target ductility is presented. The investigation has been conducted by modelling the base isolated structure as a two degree of freedom model in the OpenSees software, and the possibility of yielding in the...

On the Optimum Placement of Dissipators in a Steel Model Building Subjected to Shaking-Table Tests

The following research presents the numerical and experimental results obtained on a reduced scale steel model of a medium-rise building structure dynamically protected with energy dissipaters. The steel-steel friction dissipates energy as the structure undergoes interstory drifts. A preliminary numerical analysis is performed to determine the best position of the friction dampers in the longit...

THE SHAKING TABLE CONCENTRATOR: INFLUENCE OF TABLE PARAMETERS ON MANGANESE CONCENTRATION

Abstract: point of view. In this study, a shaking-table was used for concentrating a manganese ore sample from the Ghasem Abadarea in Kerman, Iran. Experiments were designed by using LThe influence of each variable and their interactions on the operation of the device was studied. The variables underinvestigation were: table slope, table frequency, water flowrate, feed rate, and particle size. ...
