Access to tamaris seismic testing large-scale facility

Objective

Description:

The seismic testing facility, TAMARIS, is part of the mechanical studies laboratory of the Mechanical and Technological Departement at the CEA Saclay research center. It has a permanent staff of 20 engineers and technicians. Its objectives are the development and validation of numerical models and calculation methods and the codification and seismic qualification of components.
The TAMARIS facility includes the following equipment :
AZALEE : 6m x 6m shaking table: it allows testing of specimens with a mass up to 100 tons in 3 directions with 6 degrees of freedom (translations and rotations). Independent excitations of any kind: (sinusoidal, random, shock, seismic with a 0-100Hz frequency range) may be applied. Max acceleration (with max. weight) 1g; max velocity 1m/s; max displacement: ±125mm (in horizontal directions).
VESUVE: 3.1mx3.8m shaking table. Maximal mass: 20 tons in one horizontal direction; max acceleration (with max. weight) 1.2g; max velocity: 1m/s; max displacement: ±100mm.
TOURNESOL: 2mx2m shaking table.

Maximal mass: 10 tons; max acceleration (with max. weight); horizontal direction: 1.0g vertical direction 1.3g; max velocity H 2m/s and V 1.3m/s; max displacement: V±100mm and H ± 125mm.
MIMOSA: 2mx2m shaking table. Maximal mass: 10 tons in one horizontal direction; max acceleration (with max. weight) 4.g; max velocity 0.6m/s; max displacement: ±12.5mm.
IRIS: pit allows testing of specimen up to 25m long. The diameter of the hexagonal pit is about 4m and lateral walls are equipped with anchoring devices.
REACTION WALL: (4m height, 5m length) equipped with anchoring devices.
All the equipment are connected to the acquisition system allowing recording and processing of 142 channels. It is connected to a scientific computing system with mechanical analysis codes (Castem 2000).
