Pseudo-Dynamic Testing of Large-Scale Reinforced Concrete Frame With Open Ground Story


Abstract eng:
Pseudo-dynamic (PsD) testing procedure is considered as one of the effective tool to investigate the seismic performance of structural components. In the PsD test, the results of numerical simulation of a prototype structure is used in experiment and vice-versa, which provides a flexibility of ascertaining the real-seismic performance of structures without shake-table tests. In this study, PsD test was carried out on a half-scale two-story reinforced concrete (RC) frame with open ground-story. The seismic performance of the test specimen was investigated for a scaled recorded ground motion. The main parameters investigated were the locations of damages, lateral load resisting capacity, and mode of failure. The results of PsD test were compared with the numerical results of a prototype frame under the same set of ground motions.
