US Instrumentation and Data Processing of a Large Scale Experiment on Soil-Structure Interaction of Underground Structures at E-Defense, Japan

A series of E-Defense shake table tests with a large-scale soil-underground structure specimen was conducted at the end of February, 2012 in order to investigate on interaction between soil and underground structures. Inside the specimen, a total of 5 fully-instrumented underground structure models were installed to represent underground space in urban areas. As a result of the shake table experiments, a large number of valuable sensor records and movies became available. This data repository will store the measurements of seismic soil pressures recorded through US Instrumentation installed at the test Specimen in Japan. Further data are publically available through E-Defense.
