چکیده
National research Institute for Earth science and Disaster prevention is constructing the world’s largest 3-D full-scale shake table which is nicknamed as “E-Defense”. In order to resolve several subjects for the utilization of E-Defense, NIED investigates the themes as follows, 1) Establishment of utilization and wide area network systems, 2) Development of 3-D ground motion database and a numerical simulation system for the shake table, and 3) Test and analysis of reinforced concrete structures, soil-pile-structure systems and wooden structures for using E-Defense.

Application of Optical Fiber Sensors for Structural Monitoring and Control
Experimental result of a full scale-steel frame with a smart active control system under shaking table test has been carried out in this paper. Newly, the concept of smart structure has been broached to the extent of structure control. The NEURO-FBG control system, which is composed of both neural networks and fiber Bragg grating sensors, has been theoretically analyzed and simulated to effecti...
متن کاملThe Effect of Vertical Component of Earthquake on Continuous and Monolithic Frame Bridges
Performance of structures during recent earthquakes shows that the effect of vertical component of earthquake (VCE) could be considered as one of the main causes of bridges collapse. In most of bridge design codes, for seismic analysis of bridges, VCE is not taken into account or a distinguished method isn’t presented for assessment of VCE. In the present work, the effect of VCE on two existing...
متن کاملHybrid Simulation of a Frame Equipped with MR Damper by Utilizing Least Square Support Vector Machine
In hybrid simulation, the structure is divided into numerical and physical substructures to achieve more accurate responses in comparison to a full computational analysis. As a consequence of the lack of test facilities and actuators, and the budget limitation, only a few substructures can be modeled experimentally, whereas the others have to be modeled numerically. In this paper, a new hybrid ...
متن کاملESTIMATING THE VULNERABILITY OF THE CONCRETE MOMENT RESISTING FRAME STRUCTURES USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
Heavy economic losses and human casualties caused by destructive earthquakes around the world clearly show the need for a systematic approach for large scale damage detection of various types of existing structures. That could provide the proper means for the decision makers for any rehabilitation plans. The aim of this study is to present an innovative method for investigating the seismic vuln...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Seismic Response of Single-Story RC Frames under Biaxial Earthquake Excitations
This paper summarizes the lessons learned from a full-scale test on two RC frame prototypes that have recently been tested on LNEC shaking-table using four pairs of biaxial synthetic ground motion records during 15WCEE Conference (2012). The reference structures are two single-story RC frames which are geometrically identical but with different reinforcement details. The simplified inelastic mo...
