Overview

Shake table tests reveal inadequacies in design specifications for nonstructural components in reticular structures, suggesting needed revisions.

Key Points

  • This study aims to evaluate current design specifications for nonstructural components in reticular structures affected by seismic events.
  • Conducted shake table tests on a 1:6 scaled model of a reticular structure.
  • Performed time-history analyses using full-scale finite-element models with varying ground motions.
  • Assessed effects of geometric curvatures on the behavior of nonstructural components.
  • Horizontal ground excitation leads to significant overall structural deformation.
  • Vertical accelerations at nonstructural component supports vary spatially due to the curvature of structures.
  • Neglecting support rotations can lead to considerable overestimation of internal forces in nonstructural components.
