Abstract
This paper presents shake table testing results of a scaled tower specimen equipped with a novel self-centering shear and moment dual-base mechanism system, termed the shear-controlling rocking isolation podium (SCRIP) system, for mitigating higher-mode effects in tall buildings. The scaled shake table specimen of the SCRIP system consists of a shear mechanism that controls base shear demands through the lateral response of a base podium supported by rocking columns below and friction braces in the periphery, in addition to a free-rocking mechanism above the base podium to limit the base overturning moment demands of the tower. Both mechanisms are designed to exhibit full self-centering capabilities. There were 220 shake table tests performed using two suites of ground motion (GM) excitations with increasing amplitudes from 50% to 150% in increments of 25%. The scaled SCRIP system was shown to reliably control both the peak base shear and overturning moment demands close to the design values even as the excitation amplitudes were increased. Seismic demands along the height of the tower above the SCRIP system were also well controlled. Negligible changes in the lateral resistance of the scaled SCRIP system were observed throughout the shaking table test program with no apparent damage or measured residual deformations. The bidirectional capability of the scaled SCRIP system was also experimentally demonstrated through GM excitations applied diagonally with respect to the system’s two principal horizontal directions. In addition, these results experimentally verified the concept of limiting both shear and overturning moment at the base of a slender structure to control the seismic demands and associated higher-mode effects along the height of the structure.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
