- Synopsis
- A dynamic collapse test of a full-scale six-story R/C wall-frame building structure was conducted by the world's largest tri-axial shake table "E-Defense" facility. The specimen was constructed based on Japanese design practice in the 1970s. The test was successfully performed, and the specimen collapsed due to shear failure in short columns and structural wall at the 1st story during strong earthquake motion.
