To determine the structure of the earthquake resistance for purposeRural timber frame bearing adobe wall structure3.28 × 4.9412.60 m0.0351 : 1Shaking table test of the house; seismic performance test is simple and economic
Light wood composite structures6.1 × 3.78.4 m0.1∼0.51 : 1This structure has good seismic performance, and the stiffness model has larger seismic response than the less rigid structure

Determination of dynamic characteristics of structure for the purposeBrick house of Xinjiang1.785 × 1.3353.23.2 m0.361 : 4Summary of the failure mechanism of this kind of buildings under seismic action and the weak link in the earthquake
Large-span arch bridge structure1.2 × 0.3120 m × 30  m6.9681 : 100The structure of the natural frequency of vibration and damping and dynamic parameters such as formation have been determined
Tube structure3.32 m2.24166m0.151 : 50Understanding from elasticity to damage under ground motion response provides important basis for tall overall design

The applicability of the validation of a method or theoryReinforced concrete tall building3.32 m2.237166m0.161 : 50The results of the shaking table and the use of TBSAP linear elastic finite element analysis program for calculation coincided basically with the results of the prototype structure
Especially irregular all steel structure1.5 m8.31530 m0.091 : 20SAP2000 is adopted to conduct three-dimensional force analysis on the structural model, along the most unfavorable vibration direction of the theoretical analysis results and the shaking table test results, to verify the validity of the SAP2000 program
