“…A sequence of dynamic tests, including white noise, pulse, and earthquake motions, were input at the base of the specimen in the horizontal (east-west) direction using the shake table. In addition, ambient and forced vibration tests were conducted throughout the construction of the test building and during the base excitation testing phases for the purposes of system identification (Astroza et al 2013a(Astroza et al , 2013b. In total, 13 earthquake motion tests, 31 low amplitude white noise base excitation tests and 45 pulse-like base excitation tests were conducted using the NEES@UCSD shake table while the building was in base-isolated (BI) and fixed-base (FB) configurations.…”

A landmark experimental program was conducted to advance the understanding of nonstructural system performance during earthquakes. The centerpiece of this effort involved shake table testing a full-scale five-story reinforced concrete building furnished with a broad variety of nonstructural components and systems (NCSs) including complete and operable egress, mechanical and electrical systems, facades, and architectural layouts. The building-NCS system was subjected to a suite of earthquake motions of increasing intensity, while base-isolated and then fixed at its base. In this paper, the major components of the test specimen, including the structure and its NCSs, the monitoring systems, and the seismic test protocol are described in detail. Important response and damage characteristics of the structure are also presented. A companion paper describes the damage observed for the various NCSs and correlates these observations with the structure's response.
