Table 2

Shake table performance assessment strategy based on the double parameter indices.

Performance index 1Correlation coefficient
Performance index 2Level 1 (C1 <c < 1)Level 2 (C2 <c ≤ C1)Level 3 (C3 <c ≤ C2)Level 4 (c ≥ C3)

Energy-TH index Level 1 (b ≤ B1)Case x1…Case x5…Case x9…Case x13…
Level 2 (B1 <b ≤ B2)Case x2…Case x6…Case x10…Case x14…
Level 3 (B2 <b ≤ B3)Case x3…Case x7…Case x11…Case x15…
Level 4 (B3 < b)Case x4…Case x8…Case x12…Case x16…

B1∼B3 are the reference limit values of index and C1∼C3 are the reference limit values of index , which are determined based on the shake table device.
