1. INTRODUCTION
The cable-stayed bridge is an elegant, economical and efficient structure and the cable bridge has recently proved to be highly cost-effective for short to medium span bridges. The role of dynamic forces in cable-stayed bridge is very important. More than for any other type of bridge, such forces can even determine the various feasibility of the cable bridge project. There are, in general, aerodynamic stability, physiological effects and safety against earthquakes problems in the bridge 1) . During the last 30 years, some investigators have been working on the numerical analysis of seismic behavior of long span bridges subjected to historical, artificial, multi-support exciting and non-uniform ground motion. However, few experimental studies have been carried out with large scale structural model because lack of the large scale multiple shake table testing system. In this study, a series of large scale single-pylon asymmetric cable-stayed bridge testing using multiple shaking table system in the Seismic Simulation Test Center (SESTEC) at Pusan National University, Yangsan, South Korea is presented. The purpose of this research is listed in below.

2. TEST MODEL
The test model is designed and constructed to have general dynamic behavior of cable-stayed bridge by considering natural frequency, principal mode shapes of vibration and especially geometric non-linear char- acteristic of cable element. The specimen size was determined large enough to use the shaking table system of SESTEC. The pylon of the bridge, which has two spans of different lengths is 10.2 meters height and com- posed of two H-beams. The total stayed length is 28 meters and the two spans are 12 and 16 meters respec- tively. The width of the deck is 1.20 meters and the deck consists of L-channels and C-channels without slab but with added steel mass blocks(see Fig. 1). All members are made of SM490 steel and it was assembled in the laboratory manually. Fig. 4 is showing a front view of the cable bridge model. The model erection consists of seven stages, 1) assembling a pylon, two piers and two deck blocks, 2) in- stalling load cells and cables to the upper anchorages, 3) the erection of a pylon and two piers, 4) moving and combining the deck blocks with two 30 tons overhead cranes, 5) connecting and pre-stressing the cables to the design stress level by fastening two M16 bolts with nuts(see Fig. 2(b)) and checking pre-installed load cell values simultaneously, 6) installing additional mass blocks onto the deck and 7) installing sensors. The pylon and piers are fully fixed onto the each shake table with M30 bolts. The supports between the deck blocks and columns are designed to exchange the bearing types which are general roller and hinge, RB(rubber bearing), LRB(lead rubber bearing) and HDRB(high damping bearing). The choice of the cable type depends on the mechanical properties required as well as on structural and economic criteria. In this study, a stranded wire type steel cable is used mainly for safety and economic rea- sons. The wire rope, which consists of six twisted wires, is made of IWRC grade B steel. The actual diameter is 8.34 mm (norminal adimeter is 8 mm), cross-section area is 31.4 mm 2 , ultimate tensile strength is about 50 kN and modulus of elasticity is 67.81 Gpa by the results of several tensile tests. Even the cable represents non- linear behavior before 20 % of its failure load, it shows linear characteristic from 20 % to 50 % of failure load. The allowable stress is assumed the 50 % of failure stress(800 MPa) and the load level is considered enough to stay deck loads safe. Each end of the cable is pressed with swage studs and connected to the anchorages with two nuts as shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5(d). The anchorage is designed to attach swage stud with steel wire(see Fig. 2(a) and (b)) and also to install load cell as shown in Fig. 3 and one of the lower anchorages is designed to make cable failure load case(see Fig 2(c)). The special type anchorage has two small slots to the out side of the anchor block and so sudden cable failure can be simulated with a stick designed to rotate on an axis.
3. SHAKING TABLE SYSTEM
For multi-support and non-uniform ground motion testing and relatively long span structure testing under earthquake ground motion, multiple shaking table system is necessary. According to advancement of science and technology for hydlaulic equipment, there are several large multiple shake table testing systems have recently been developed or under construction, such as two 6 DOF(degrees of freedom) shake table system at University of at Buffalo, USA, three biaxial and one 6 DOF shaking tables at University of Nevada, Reno, USA and four biaxial tables at Tongji University, China 3) . In this study, a multi-support excitation shaking table system(MTS system corporation) at Pusan National University, Yangsan is used to generate ground motions. The system consists of two moveable biaxial tables and one 6 DOF tables. One of the remarkable function of the system is that the biaxial tables can be moved at intervals of 4 meters and so maximum 40 meters long span bridge earthquake testing is possible. The shaking table performance and specification is listed in Table 1.

Fig. 5(a) shows how the cable bridge specimen is installed onto the each tables. P1(left pier), pylon and P2(right pier) are installed onto the table A, B, and C respectively. Each table is operated by an MTS 469D controller and the controllers are connected to MTS STEX3 software, which generate earthquake motion and control the all three tables simultaneously, via Scramnet real-time data sharing technology. DAQ(data acqui- sition) system has 264 A/D channels and the system is also designed to achieve each table motion feedbacks such as displacement, velocity and acceleration in real-time.

4. TEST METHOD AND MEASUREMENTS
As the variety of interests, several shaking table test methods are selected. Test cases are listed in Table 3. White noise random tests are performed to check characteristics before and after changing the test method or occurring the major change of the specimen. Impact hammer test also carried out to know the natural frequency at various points. The static loading test was conducted using 300 Kg steel mass block that is identical to masses on the deck blocks with overhead crane. After moving the block over the mass location on the deck, the block load was applied slowly to the specimen using phased low speed control of the crane. Base isolation and MR-damper test was performed to know the seismic performance of RB, LRB, HDRB and MR-damper under passive and active state. El Centro earthquake acceleration time history was used for input motion and the Items Size (m) DOF Payload (ton) Overturning moment (kN-meters) Max. acceleration at full payload(g) Max. single stroke(mm) Operating Frequency (Hz) Table A 5 by 5 3 30 2,000 1.00 600 0.1-60 Table B 5 by 5 3 60 2,000 0.85 600 0.1-60 Table C 4 by 4 6 30 1,200 1.20 600 0.1-60 Type Classifications Yield point (N/mm 2 ) Tensile strength (N/mm 2 ) Elongtation (%) Structural steel SM490 325 490 17 497 Top PA PER S
6 excitation level was increased gradually until 100% of its original peak amplitude. In multi-support excitation test case, artificial earthquake which has different phase and motion at the table A, B and C is used for input drive motion data. The phase difference was 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0 seconds from table A to C and 5 combinations of ground motion were used. Cable failure test was conducted in static and also dynamic condition. The sudden failure was silumated using special anchorage as shown in Fig. 2(c). In dynamic condition, the failure was ingenerated during El Centro earthquake motion. Static and dynamic behaviors of cable bridge model are measured using a total of 121 sensors which are accelerometers, displacement transducers, load cells and strain gages as shown in Fig. 6. The 20 kN capacity load cells are attacheded between swage stud and upper cable anchorage to measure the cable forces. Strain gages are located at the place where the maximum stress could be occurred like bottom side of the pylon and piers. A tri-axial accelerometer is installed on the deck and pylon`s point oI intersection as a reference point. 12 biaxial and 6 uni-axial accelerometers are attached on the cross beams to confirm the mode shapes, natural frequency and etc. Displacement transducers are used for static loading cases and dynamic relative dis- placement measurement of seismic isolation bearings.
5. TEST RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Fig. 7 and 8 are showing the displacement and acceleration time history and response spectrum of shaking table feedback signals under El Centro earthquake motion. In displacement comparision, all three tables are considered running with same movement but table B represents more response between 10 Hz and 50 Hz from the acceleration data. Such responses are considered as a result of resonance of the reference frame for the MR-damper and cable bridge specimen. However, in general, the low frequency component of earthquake wave is more important for civil structures and therefore the multiple shake table system in SESTEC is useful enough to research the large scale cable bridge model. The measured natural frequency of cable bridge system is compared with FEM analysis results in Table 4. There is some errors between analysis and experiment results because of many factors but the principle frequency and mode shapes are relatively well matched(see Fig. 8).
