Abstract

Natural period and damping factor are important values in seismic design. However, these values obtained by actual earthquake observation of buildings are affected by the soil–structure interaction. Therefore the characteristics of the building structure only are unclear. This paper focuses on the vibration characteristics of the structure itself using the records of large shaking table tests. Reinforced concrete specimens subjected to strong input motion were studied. Moreover, the effects of the experienced largest deformation on the vibration characteristics were investigated.
