Shaking table test of steel arch frame

A shaking table test of a solid-web steel arch frame was carried out to present the seismic behavior. During the shaking table test, the acceleration response at the arch-top was largest. The maximum displacement response and the maximum stress at the quarter point of the arch frame were larger than other test points. The added braces could effectively help decreasing the displacement and deformation of the steel arch frame. The seismic response under the Tianjin wave was the largest while that under the Loma Prieta wave was the least, since the predominant frequency of the Tianjin wave is closest to the fundamental frequency of the model.
