Y. Sugawara et al., CORRELATION-ANALYSIS FOR FORCED VIBRATION TEST OF THE HUALIEN LARGE-SCALE SEISMIC TEST PROGRAM, Nuclear Engineering and Design, 172(3), 1997, pp. 281-288
The correlation analysis for forced vibration test of a 1/4 scale cont
ainment SSI test model constructed in Hualien, Taiwan, was carried out
for the case of backfilled foundation. Prior to the correlation analy
sis, structural property was revised so that calculated fundamental fr
equency of fixed base condition was adjusted to that derived from test
results. Correlation analysis was carried out by 'Lattice Model' whic
h was able to estimate soil-structure interaction effects with embedme
nt. The analysis results coincide well with test results and concluded
that the mathematical soil-structure interaction model established by
the correlation analysis is efficient to estimate a dynamic soil-stru
cture interaction effect with embedment. This mathematical model will
be applied as a basic model of simulation analysis for earthquake obse
rvation records. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
