The experiences of current shaking table methods for vibration testing of architectural curtain- walls are reviewed to analyze the weakness and shortcomings of the shaking table methods.An improved testing method

as well as the seismic performance indexes of the curtain-walls

which are related to the acceleration responses and deformation responses

is put forward and illustrated through a sample test. The compatibility methods for the acceleration and deformation responses of the curtain-walls tested are suggested and proved to be sophisticated.Finally

a new concept based on floor response spectrum is developed for the analysis.For generating suitable earthquake waves to cover the floor response spectrum related to accelerations and story drifts

further suggestions are made for these requirements.It might be referenced in the seismic performance research and for the experimental methodology of the curtain-wall and even the curtain-wall engineering.
