Feasibility of Substructure Pseudo Dynamic Test on the Tanks in Seismic Research

Modern structures tend to be more and more complicated, setting up the complete calculation model and getting each part of the dynamic response is almost impossible and unnecessary. The substructure analysis technology is effective for the dynamic analysis of large and complex structure. The substructure theory has become increasingly mature and perfect, and has been widely used in structural analysis and calculation. This article simply introduces the principle of substructure pseudo dynamic test, and using the finite element software—ADINA simulates a steel frame.
