Abstract:

A summary of the construction and instrumentation of the full scale seven story reinforced concrete test structure is presented. The general construction procedure and differences between Japanese and U.S. construction practices are discussed. Cross section dimensions, reinforcement details and material properties for all structural members are presented. Instrumentation consisted of 200 displacement transducers, 415 strain gages mounted on reinforcing bars and 120 strain gages mounted on the concrete surface. The types and locations of the instruments attached to the test structures are defined and discussed.

Abstract:

SP84 A joint U.S.-Japan cooperative earthquake engineering research program produced a series of papers published as 13 chapters in this volume. Included are: Static tests on shear walls and beamcolumn assemblies and study on correlation between shaking table tests and pseudo-dynamic tests; Construction and instrumentation of the full scale specimen; Comparison between the reinforced concrete test structure and design requirements from U.S. and Japanese Building Codes; Testing procedure and preliminary test results of a full scaleseven story reinforced concrete building; testing, repair and strengthening, and retesting of a full scale seven story reinforced concrete building; inelastic behavior of the seven story building; Analysis of the full scale seven story reinforced concrete test structure; medium scale wall assemblies: Comparison of analysis and test results; Full scale tests of beamcolumn joints; Scale model tests of Structural components and assemblies; and Earthquake simulation tests of scale models.

Abstract:

This paper consists of three kinds of studies . One is static tests on three story shear wall assemblies to investigate the seismic behavior, particularly deformation performance and deformation mechanism, of flexural type shear walls. Second is static tests on flexural type beam-column asseniblies designed by either U.S. design practice or Japanese design practice . Third is correlation study on shaking table tests and pseudo dynamic tests developed for full scale seven story R/C building test. Major conclusions derived from these studies are a s follows; ( i ) Stretch of the boundary column under tension of the first story controlled the over all behavior of flexural type shear walls, ( i i ) The effect of slab reinforcements on bending capacity of beams was greatly remarkable, which caused pinching phenomena in a load vs. driftrelation while top of the beam was under tension, and (iii) Satisfactory correlation between shaking table tests and pseudo dynamic tests was obtained after the restoring force characteristics with the effects of strain rate and stress relaxation was appropriately evaluated.

Abstract:

This paper presents the background of activities leading to the current U.S.- Japan Cooperative Earthquake Engineering Research Program on the seismic perfornance of building structures which is being conducted under the auspices of the U.S.- Japan Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects, United States - Japan National Resources (U.J.N.R.) Program with major financial support provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the Japanese Ministry of Construction (MOC), and the Japanese Science and Technology Agency (STA). Also presented is a brief description of the current program and a statement on the coordination effort which is the responsibility of a Joint Technical Coordinating Committee (JTCC).

Abstract:

A full-scale seven story reinforced concrete building structure was tested as a part of the U.S.- Japan Cooperative Earthquake Research Program. Behaviors of the structure from the elastic stage to the ultimate stage were observed in the tests consisting of vibration tests, floor loading test, static loading tests, and pseudo-dynamic tests. This paper describes the pseudo- dynamic test method applied to this test which reduced a multi-degree-of-freedom system to an equivalent single-degree-of freedom system. The effectiveness of the equivalent single-degree- of-freedom pseudo-dynamic test method was verified by comparing the results of numerical response analyses with the test results. This paper also presents test results for the vibration tests, the floor level loading test, and the static loading tests carried out in order to determine the dynamic characteristics and behavior of the structure in the initial stage.
