Shake table tests are conducted on a scaled frame model of an industrial building, which has irregular story heights, different beam span lengths, and uneven weight distribution. Its elastic and inelastic responses are observed under simulated earthquakes. The test results are used to verify the validity of a computer response analysis, which is based on the plastic hinge model of flexural members and a hysteresis rule for brace members. Additionally, the load effects derived from the test results are discussed comparing with the equivalent static load method in the design practice.
