Development of a Dataset from Shaking Table Tests of a Bridge System with Precast Reinforced Concrete Columns Equipped with Springs

This article describes the publicly available dataset of multiple shaking table tests on a restrained rocking and sliding bridge system exhibiting negative lateral stiffness. Given the scarcity of experimental campaigns on such systems, this dataset is valuable for the development and validation of analytical and numerical models, with 184 tests. This large body of data allows the models to be validated in a statistical sense. This work describes in detail the specimen and its construction, as well as all instrumentation used during the tests. It presents the organization of the shared data, and concludes with some examples of how the available data can be postprocessed for assessing the behavior of the system. © 2022 American Society ofCivil Engineers.
