Realistic simulations of earthquake responses were conducted in March 2009 for the full-scale
5-story building specimens with dampers using the E-Defense, the world’s largest three-…

Large-scale shake table tests were conducted at E-Defense, Japan, to examine the dynamic
response of a steel concentrically braced frame. The specimen was a single-bay, single-…

E‐Defense, which is operated by the Japanese National Research Institute for Earth Science
and Disaster Resilience, currently contains the world's largest 3‐dimensional shaking table …

A new framework is presented for analysis of dynamic collapse behavior of steel frames using
large‐scale parallel finite element method based on the domain decomposition method. …

This paper mainly addresses the validity and verification of our current code-based knowledge
through the utilization of test data of benchmark structure in Japan. A full-scale, four-story …

In this paper, results are presented from shaking-table tests of a full-scale 10-story reinforced-concrete
structure to confirm the behavior of a free-standing system with a base that …

Large-scale shake table tests were performed at E-Defense to examine the out-of-plane
stability of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs). Two specimens were subjected repeatedly to a …

This article presents the seismic performance of scaled bridge columns using polypropylene
fiber reinforced cement composite (PFRC), steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), and …

Nonlinear signal‐based control (NSBC) is very powerful for controlling structural systems
with parameter variations and has the advantage that the controllers can be designed using …

Two models of the 10-story reinforced concrete building tested at E-Defense laboratory in
2015 are built: the F model, in which nonlinear behavior is distributed over the element length, …
