Description

In 1984, we constructed a full-scale model (supporting 505 ton of weight), and carried out a free vibration test. Twelve seismometers were installed in this structure, enabling us to observe its earthquake response. From the free vibration test, earthquake records, and a simulation analysis, we confirmed the effectiveness of the base-isolation system. (orig./HP)
