- Synopsis
- Earthquake simulation tests on full-scale reinforced concrete buildings were conducted at E-Defense, the world largest three-dimensional shake-tables of NIED in Miki, Hyogo. Tested were a six-story residential buildings in January 2006 and two three- story school buildings in Septembar to November 2006. The results of the tests and analyses are outlined in this paper.
