SHAKING TABLE TESTS OF WOODEN CONSTRUCTION WITH HIGH DAMPING RUBBER SHEAR WALL

Analytical study on behaviors of shaking table tests

Abstract

Passive controlled shear wall for wooden construction with high damping rubber damper to prevent the degradation of seismic performance during repeated severe earthquakes is proposed in this study.

In this paper, shaking table tests of the full scale two-story wooden structure composed of proposed shear wall were described.

In addition, we tried to calculate the seismic response of shaking table tests using time history response analysis.

As the result, it is confirmed that the proposed shear wall is effective to reduce the degradation of seismic performance to repeated earthquakes in comparison with plywood conventional shear wall.
