摘要

Severe failures of nonstructural components have occurred during previous earthquakes. Claddings are one of the most widely used nonstructural component and are installed in many modern buildings; therefore, an evaluation of their seismic performance is important and cannot be ignored. To investigate the seismic performance of large-sized high performance concrete cladding (HPCC), a series of full-scale experimental tests were conducted using a unidirectional shaking table. A steel supporting frame was used to install the HPCCs and reproduce the effects of the building under earthquake. The tests were divided into two parts: in-plane (IP) testing and out-plane (OP) testing. Three recorded accelerograms, one artificial accelerogram, and one sinusoidal accelerogram were used to conduct the shaking table tests. The results show that the maximum recorded IP responses of acceleration and interstory drift ratio were 1.04 g and 1/97, while the OP responses were 1.02 g and 1/51. The HPCCs functioned well throughout the entire experimental protocol. The fundamental frequency of the HPCCs systems rarely changed after the tests.
