School of Engineering, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China)The shaking table test researches on aseismic behaviors of large-span structures often adopt small-scale models because of the influences of table sizes, moreover, the mechanical performances of materials frequently fail to meet the demands of loads. These facts usually result in difficulties in such tests, so insufficient-mass models have to be chosen as the objects in these tests consequently. In view of the large-span structure of the Wanzhou Yangtze River Bridge, a 1∶100 scale insufficient-mass model was examined by the 3-D finite element analyses and tested on the shaking table. This paper analyzed and compared the experimental values and theoretical values, and presented a correct calculation model and a dynamic analysis approach which would lay a solid foundation for further researches into the bridge.shaking table test; analogical relationship; insufficient-mass model; dynamical reaction
