Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the safety margin of the reinforced concrete cylindrical shell on a layered rock ground to the intensity earthquake motion. The first step of evaluation is to compute the theoretical DGC for the model of a elastic five-layered medium due to oscillator tests and to transform into the rational function. The second step of evaluation is experimentally to obtain the elastic stiffness and the restoring force characteristics (reversed slip type) of the reinforced concrete cylindrical shell and transform into the theoretical model. The third step of evaluation is to make the elastic plastic analysis for the reinforced concrete cylindrical shell considering the DGC on a five-layered medum.
