The seismic safety of ALC panels was verified by three-dimensional shaking table tests on a full-scale 10-story reinforced concrete building conducted at E-defense in 2018 and 2019. The results suggest that the ALC panel was rocking behavior and followed the story drift angle more than 1/50 rad. Additionally, there was no damage impaired the function of the exterior wall. Therefore, it was shown that the rocking mechanism of the ALC panel functioned normally and the clearance was provided enough between the ALC panel and the building.
