Research on the Collapse Performance of RC Frame Structure

Abstract:

In collapse-resistant design of a structure under accidental local action, it is important to understand the failure mechanism and alternative load paths. In this paper, a pseudo-static experimental method is proposed. Based on which, the collapse of frame structure was simulated with testing a 1/3 scale; 4-bay and 3-story plane reinforced concrete frame. In the experience, the middle column of the bottom floor was replaced by mechanical jacks to simulate its failure, and the simulated superstructure’s gravity load acted on the column of the top floor by adopting a servo-hydraulic actuator with force –controlled mode.
