Shaking Table Test on Three-Dimensional Scaled Models of Reinforced Concrete High-Rise Frame Structure with Wall Columns

Abstract

In order to examine dynamic behavior and the collapse mode of reinforced concrete building structures during an earthquake, shaking table tests were carried out by using a couple of threedimensional scaled models of Highrise Frame Structure with Wall Columns (HFW). One model was excited in the logitudinal direction, and the other both in the longitudinal and transverse directions simultaneously. By comparison of response values of the tests with those of the dynamic analysis, the influence of transverse elements on the strength and the deformation is discussed.
