Abstract;It is known that the responses of structures with long natural period, such as high-rise buildings and base isolation buildings, become very large in case of subjecting long-period ground motions. To investigate life safety under such large response of a building, it is necessary to carry out a shaking table test which can simulate the large response of a building. The BRI Large Stroke Shaking Table was constructed in the large structure testing laboratory in the Building Research Institute for this purpose. In this study, the series of performance tests of the "BRI Large Stroke Shaking Table" are conducted and the response of a high rise building subjecting to the long period earthquake ground motion is simulated using the shaking table.
