Apparent damping induced by spurious pitching in shaking table testing.

A seismic shaking table test performed on a one storey steel frame with an 8 ton RC floor slab was reproduced on a similar specimen by means of the pseudo dynamic (PsD) method. A satisfactory agreement of the results could only be achieved after recalibration of the theoretical mass in the PsD equat...
