Testing and Analysis of Surrounding Buildings during the Operation of Seismic Simulation Shaking Table

This paper focuses on the transmission of vibration response of the seismic simulation shaking table system at Southeast University, and analyzes the effect of this response on the surrounding building. The location of the building is less than 10 m away from the laboratory where the shaking table is located, and during the maximum load test, a student reported that the vibration caused him a sense of discomfort, as well as the shaking of office objects on desktops on high floors, which caused panic. For these reasons, multiple three-directional vibration sensors were placed around the shaking table system and on the 1st, 8th, and 16th floors of the building. Test the vibration response transfer and the vibration response of the building floor while the exercise table is in operation. The test results show that the vibration-weighted acceleration levels of some floors exceed the code limits under sinusoidal wave conditions, which was the cause of the discomfort. The floors will have an amplifying effect on the lateral vibration. For seismic wave excitation, all measurement points of the building meet the limit values required by the GB 50868-2013 Standard for allowable vibration of building engineering. This study can provide a data reference for future shaking table system commissioning and operation.
