Small-scale skeletal structural models are exposed to a random environment in the vibration laboratory. Two major achievements are reported in the paper: (i) the acceleration input of the uniaxial shaking table is subject to a novel feedback control, (ii) a mechanical and a tuned liquid column damper are considered interacting with a ductile one-dimensional and an elastic three-dimensional framed structure, respectively. Computational and measured outputs are compared with emphasis on precise modeling.
