Abstract:

As a part of the U. S. -Japan Cooperative Research Program Utilizing Large-Scale Testing Facilities, a six-story, 2 by 2 bay, concentrically K-braced steel building was constructed in full-scale, and subjected to Miyagi-Ken-Oki simulated earthquake of different intensities by the pseudo-dynamic (PSD) test facilities (on-line computer-actuator test). To simulate working load conditions, the earthquake motion was scaled to 65 gal; for a moderate earthquake the peak intensity was set at 250 gal; the maximum earthquake was run at 500 gal.
