Abstract

This paper reports describes a series of shaking table tests performed at the EUCENTRE lab in the framework of the SERIES FP7 project. This paper presents the works developed to design a test at the, for the evaluation of the maximum capacity of a 3-storey building under an earthquake. The structural system of this building is composed of cast in-situ sandwich squat reinforced concrete walls which make use of poly-styrene as a support for the concrete. The purpose of this test is to verify the dynamic behavior of this structural typology under earthquake loads. The structural specimen which will be tested is a structural system composed of cast-in-situ squat sandwich concrete walls characterized by 5.50 x 4.10 m in plan and 8.25 m in height. The input for the simulation will be the Montenegro earthquake in April of 1979. The construction of this building was developed out of the main laboratory; it was lifted and pulled inside using hydraulic jacks and a roller system. A bracing system was developed to assure the integrity of the structure during all the process. This chapter presents some preliminary test results.
