PsD Test on Four-Story R/C Building Designed According to Eurocodes
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 122, Issue 12
Abstract
An experimental program was conducted on a four-story full-scale reinforced concrete building designed as a ductility class “high” structure in accordance with Eurocodes 2 and 8. The activity was defined as part of a cooperative research program by the European Association of Structural Mechanics Laboratories. The pseudodynamic tests were conducted for a serviceability-level and high-level earthquake—1.5 times the reference accelerogram. The results of the pseudodynamic tests are presented. General conclusions about the performance of the structure are drawn, with attention paid to the effects of the adoption of the new high-strength B500 Tempcore steel. The results make it possible to discuss the influence of the modeling parameters to be used in predicting the behavior of this class of structures. Effects such as the pullout and the slippage of the bars in the joints, or the participation of the slab to the global stiffness were found to play a fundamental role.
