[Scope and outline]
The performance of a structure could not be known if an actual earthquake does not occur. Since big earthquake will happen only once in several hundreds years in a city, we cannot know a true performance of the structures under a big earthquake. It is very useful in designing a new structure or knowing the performance of existing structures to conduct structural experiments. Topics dealt in this course include:
- Introduction to experiments
- Size of test specimens and scale effects
- Loading system and supporting system of test specimens
- Measurements of strain, deformation and acceleration
- Static loading tests
- Dynamic loading tests
