Abstract:In this study, the seismic response of a container crane under near-field and far-field ground motions was investigated using a shaking table test on a 1/20 scale crane. The 1/20 scale crane was designed and fabricated based on the similitude laws, in which three independent quantities: geometric length, acceleration, and elastic modulus, were used to design the 1/20 scale crane. A series of shaking table tests were conducted at the Seismic Research and Test Center, Pusan National University, Yangsan Campus to… Show more
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.
