Abstract
A series of vertical vibration tests was carried out on small lm span steel portal frames of different stiffnesses and supported on two isolated rigid circular footings on a compacted sand deposit. Dynamic loading was applied to the center of the frame and the response was monitored by means of six accelerometers attached at various locations. The resonant frequency and the maximum amplitude of vibration were observed to be dependent on the frame stiffness and two theoretical models, the combined method and the dynamic deformation method, were used to compare calculated and observed results.
