Simulated Shaking Table Test Research of Isolated and Non-Isolated Frame Structure Model

Abstract:

“Code for seismic design of buildings”（GB50011-2010）prescribes that for the structure above the isolation layer, seismic intensity can be reduced less than 1 degree when the horizontal damping coefficient is not less than 0.40. Research of seismic performance between non-isolated and isolated frame structures designed based on this rule has not been found. In this paper, 1/3 scale models of a non-isolated and an isolated frame structure are built and shaking table test is conducted to investigate seismic response and damage of structures. Test reveals that isolated structure occurs little damage under different seismic intensity, while damage of non-isolated structure is gradually increasing with the seismic intensity increases and the location of damage is mainly concentrated in the beam end.
