Elastic Results’ Comparison between Computing and Test of a Scaled Model of a Complex Supertall Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

The height of a complex supertall building is 250m. The central RC tube and peripheral SRC frame with a strengthened truss and a transfer truss are employed to resist vertical and lateral loads. At first, a shaking table test was performed on a 1/30 scaled model of the building to study its dynamic characteristics and to evaluate its earthquake resistant capacity. Then, a 3D finite element analysis of model structure was carried out. Finally, the analytical results were compared with the experimental ones to gain a better understanding of the structural behavior.
