Presentation On 3d Shake Table

3D shake tables are used to test reinforced concrete building models and retrofitting techniques by simulating earthquake ground motions. The presentation discussed the history of 3D shake tables, specifications for low and high frequency shake tables, construction of test specimens, and objectives. Test results showed that retrofitting infill walls and column foundations with carbon fiber and epoxy improved structural behavior and reduced displacements compared to unretrofitted specimens. In conclusion, 3D shake tables are an important tool for advancing knowledge of earthquake engineering and retrofitting strategies.

PRESENTATION ON 3D

SHAKE TABLE

Prepared by:-

PRATEEK KAR

About 3d shake table:It is a pure reinforced concrete 3d frame


with infill walls specified in such a way to
take into account some of the common
irregularities & deficiencies in these types of
buildings during past earthquakes.
In order to reproduce actual earthquake
data, a 6 degree of freedom shaking table is
essential.It is a very complex electro
hydraulic system which is very expensive &
requires high maintenance & operational
costs.

History &origin:

Severe damage resulted from the last major


earthquakes in Turkey strongly emphasized
the need of proper repair & strengthening
of concrete buildings in order to avoid
catastrophic losses & have safer & stronger
buildings.

Initial conferences on curbing sesmic


activities:-

The 1st planning meeting was held in April


2004 in shin-kobe,japan with the
participation of nearly 50 researchers from
Japan &US.
the 2nd & 3rd planning meetings were held
in Arlington,USA in July 2004 & Miki,Japan
respectively.

Initial specimens of shake table:-

Three 1/3rd scale (2 storey RC frame


specimens) of a 4 storey RC frame building
prototype have been designed,constructed
& tested on the shaking table at IZIIS lab.

Construction:-

Additional carbon fiber reinforced


polymer(CFRP) strips were placed on the
inner & outer faces of the masonary infill
constructed in the middle bay of boyh
stories.
The existing infill wall was reinforced with a
very thin layer of high strength pre-cast
concrete elements epoxy glued to the wall
& to the frame members.

3d shake table layouts

Construction:-

Mainly it was built to advance the scientific


knowledge in earthquake engineering as a
consequence of the extensive damage of
urban infrastructures.
Research includes progressive failure ,soil
foundation structural interaction ,liquefactioninduced lateral displacement & forces ,retrofit
strategies & measures ,protective systems &
responses to spatially varying ground motions
& failure of RC columns.

Implementation of shake tables in laboratory:-

Shake tables prepared by L.D. College of


engineering are uni-axial electromechanical shaking tables. These shaking
tables are assembly of various steel
sections that forms a table on which a plate
is supported.
Movement of this plate is considered
shaking of ground due to earthquakes.
Uniaxial means movement in one horizontal
direction.

Specifications of low frequency shake table:

Uni-axial motorized electro-mechanical shake table.


Size: 8ft X 4ft table platform for fixing model
Operated manually & with motor as well.
Motor: single phase DC motor with electronic panel
board,frequency range of 0-1500 rpm
Amplitude range of shake table is from 0-100mm
Harmonic & periodic simulation
Frequency of simulation: 0-4Hz
Payload capacity:-600kg

Specifications of high frequency shake


table:

Uni-axial motorized electro mechanical shake table.


Size:-5ft X 3ft table platform for fixing model
Operated manually & with motor as well
Motor:-single phase DC motor with frequency range of 09000rpm
Amplitude range:-0-50mm
Harmonic &random simulation.
Frequency of simulation:-0-25 Hz
Payload capacity:-500kg

3d shake tables

Steps of incorporation:

Infill wall RC strengthening panels.


Panels are made of concrete having strength of 40 Mpa
&reinforced with steel plain bars.
SIKADUR 31 epoxy repair mortar was used in panel joints &
between the panels & the wall plaster.It is a 2 component
mortar with setting time of about 45 minutes at room
temperature & the tensile strength of about 20 Mpa.

Objectives of 3D shake table:-

To clarify the failure mechanisms of RC


columns
To clarify the effectiveness of standard
seismic retrofit measures for existing RC
columns
To clarify the effect of damper technology

Failures:

First a shear-slip failure between the concrete


elements & masonary infill wall due to poor
connection has been observed.
Then a brittle shear-slip failure between the
columns & foundation due to inadequate stirrup
lap-splice-length occured.
those deficiencies have been overcome
using proper retrofitting techniques with CFRP
strips ,particularly applied on affected lap splice
zones between the columns & foundation.

Physical significance of shake table:

The random earthquake ground motions, which cause the


structure to vibrate ,can be resolved in any 3 mutually
perpendicular directions(+x , +y , +z,-x,-y,-z). i.e 2
horizontal & 1 vertical. Horizontal movements are pre
dominant.
The vertical direction movements are to 2/3 rd of the
horizontal vibration. self weight of the load compensates
the effect of vertical acceleration. Movement of shaking
table means application of strong accelerographs to model
of the structure to study the behaviour.

Conclusion:

The proposed retrofitting techniques have


significantly reduced the displacements
( dmax dropped from 16.8cm to 8.7 cm &
then to 2.26 cm for the retrofitted
specimens) & improve the structural
behaviour. Newer & better innovations are
yet to come in this field.
