Research on Structural Performance of Frame Forms in Seismic Isolation and Vibration Control of Over-track Buildings

Past research suggests the possibility that employing seismic isolation technology could reduce response of a building in an earthquake and accordingly allow for smaller lower structures. JR East has also proposed jointly with Takenaka Corporation a frame form called “double girder form.” The aim of that form is to secure clearance gauge at the track level in over-track spaces, which have much design and construction constraints, and at the same time to minimize the space required for the seismic isolation layer. In this research, the authors conducted static loading tests using a scaled-down specimen consisting of laminate rubber and a double girder so as to clarify the structural performance of the double girder. By simulating the test results, the authors established a design method for double girders.
