An electronic pseudocolor encoder based on the principle of optical method is described. The system can perform pseudocolor encoding in real-time. A compact hand-held system consisting of monochrome CCD camera, electronics, and a liquid crystal display in a housing is presented. Example for optical testing is given.
A shaking table test of one-fourth scaled 20-story RC building has been conducted at the E-Defense to grasp the seismic performance of super high-rise RC buildings under long period seismic ground motions. In this study, pre-analysis of the building was conducted and the results were compared with the test results to verify the validity of the earthquake response analysis method. In this paper, it is shown that the analytical results on the story drift and shear became the underestimate for the test results for the larger motions such as the maximum story drift angle exceeded 0.01 rad.. On the other hand, it is also described that the accuracy of the analysis for the higher level of ground motions is improved by modifying the width of floor slabs contributing to the flexural strength of beams and the modeling of the hysteresis loops of the beams in the analytical program.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
