The ROBUST Steel Building Response
摘要
Shaking table testing of a full-scale three storey resilient and reparable composite steel framed building system is conducted as part of the RObust BUilding SysTem (ROBUST) collaborative China-New Zealand project. The steel frame building, with nine different interchangeable seismic resisting configurations and cold formed steel-concrete composite decks, is designed to dissipate energy by friction. Typical building non-skeletal elements (NSEs) are also included in one configuration. Testing is performed on the Jiading Campus shaking table at Tongji University, Shanghai, China. This paper provides a short overview of the test setups and preliminary results before full data reduction was conducted. It is shown that the systems with friction configurations, many of which were developed in New Zealand, behaved well during shaking intensities applied, with peak ground accelerations up to 0.60 g.
