“…Studies focused on how the organisation of Expos stimulated the tourist industry (Jauncey, Nadkarni, 2014) and demonstrated their impact on citizens living in host cities (Lamberti, Noci, Guo, Zhu, 2011;Wang, 2014;Vij, Upadhya, Vij, Kumar, 2019]. The analysis also covered the architecture of individual national pavilions (Martínez Calzón, Castañón Jiménez, 2010;Yang, Chen, Jiang, Lu, 2012;Seo, 2017, to name but a few) and of other facilities which have become the symbols of host cities over time (Yang, Chen, Jiang, Lu, 2012). Furthermore, Expo's impact on the growth of such cities was examined (Meyer-Künzel, 2007;Vita, 2022), as well as their revitalisation was discussed (Deng, Poon, 2012;Deng, Poon, Chan, 2016).…”

World’s fairs (Expos) are nowadays perceived as so-called mega events, which are attended mainly to build a desired image of exhibiting countries. The article aimed at exploring literature to determine the extent to which the concept in question has been examined by researchers. Furthermore, the author’s intention was – based on experience gained during participation in the last Expo editions – to identify the main presentation components which have a bearing on image-related effects. This constitutes a practical implication of this work. Marketing activities performed during universal exhibitions were exemplified based on the exhibition activity of Poland. A literature review demonstrated that Expo did not receive a lot of researchers’ attention – especially in terms of creating the image of exhibiting countries. Therefore there is a research gap which should be closed, in particular, in the context of combining expo participants’ activity with experience marketing.

This paper presents an earthquake-resistance study program of a long-span cantilevered story building. The program consists of a shaking table test study and nonlinear seismic analysis using finite element modeling technique. A 1/30 scale model of the prototype structure was designed and manufactured and then tested via the shaking table facility. Dynamic responses of the prototype structure under different earthquake excitation loadings were simulated. Dynamic properties, acceleration, and deformation responses of the scale down model under different intensity levels of earthquake were studied. The dynamic behavior, cracking pattern, and the likely governing failure mechanism of the structure were analyzed and discussed as well. The seismic responses of the prototype building were deduced and analyzed in terms of the similitude law. Furthermore, elaborate finite element models were established, and nonlinear numerical analysis of the prototype structure was conducted. The errors in the seismic response of the structure caused by structural simplification of scale down modeling are found small, and the dynamic behavior of the structure was not altered in the earthquake excitations. This test study provides a benchmark to calibrate the finite element model and a tentative guide in seismic design of such long-span cantilevered story buildings. KEYWORDSfailure pattern, long-span cantilevered structure, numerical analysis, seismic response, shaking table test, simplification | INTRODUCTIONThe past decades have witnessed a flourish of novel high-rise buildings around the world. To acquire esthetic architectural appearance, many of these buildings are designed irregular in the plan layout and the elevation or at the other perspectives, and it always makes analysis of these structures more difficult because they are beyond the scopes of the regular building codifications. However, the seismic behaviors of such complex structures are not well understood, and there are no ready specifications so far being able to cover the seismic design of these buildings.Shaking table test is one effective way to investigate the dynamic and seismic behaviors of such complex structures. Obviously, a full-scale model shaking table test is more accurate and effective in dynamic simulation of the prototype structures. Studies of several unconventionally designed buildings based on full-and large-scale modeling shaking table tests can be found in literature. Such as that to investigate the dynamic behavior of historic stone masonry structures, Guido et al. [1] conducted a shaking table test study on a full-scale strengthen stone masonry building;and to assess seismic performance and predict damages and failure occurring in the prototype building, Li et al. [2] carried out a 1/20 scale model shaking table test for a high-rise building with a transfer plate system. Ko and Lee [3] studied the seismic behavior of a high-rise reinforced concrete building model that possessed substantial torsional eccentricity in the soft lower story by performing...

“…Many researchers (e.g. Rodríguez et al, 2006;Lu et al, 2008;Ziemian et al, 2010;Cheng and Lu, 2010;Yang et al, 2012;Zhou et al, 2012) have performed shaking table tests to determine linear and nonlinear dynamic responses of scale structural models subjected to various earthquake records. In addition, several experimental shaking table studies have been carried out on tall building models (e.g.…”

SUMMARYIn the areas of seismic engineering, shaking table tests are powerful methods for assessing the seismic capacity of buildings. Since the size and capacity of existing shaking tables are limited, using scale structural models seems to be necessary. In recent years, many experimental studies have been performed using shaking table tests to determine seismic response of structural models subjected to various earthquake records. However, none of the past research works discussed practical procedure for creating the physical model. Therefore, in this study, a comprehensive procedure for design, building and commissioning of scale tall building structural models has been developed and presented for practical applications in shaking table test programmes. To validate the structural model, shaking table tests and numerical time history dynamic analyses were performed under the influence of different scaled earthquake acceleration records. Comparing the numerical predictions and experimental values of maximum lateral displacements, it became apparent that the numerical predictions and laboratory measurements are in a good agreement. As a result, the scale structural model can replicate the behaviour of real tall buildings with acceptable accuracy. It is concluded that the physical model is a valid and qualified model that can be employed for experimental shaking table tests.
