Seismic Test on a Damaged Structure with Recycled Concrete Blocks

Abstract:

A man-made damaged model of a one-storey block masonry structure with recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was tested on a shaking table The Wenchuan earthquake wave, El Centro earthquake wave and Shanghai artificial wave were selected and input to the model with different earthquake levels in the shaking table tests. The recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) block masonry structure was damaged firstly by cutting the tie columns and its seismic behavior was experimentally investigated. The dynamic characteristics, the displacement response, the acceleration response were record. In comparison with the intact model, there is an obvious decrease in the seismic performance of the RAC block masonry man-made damage model.
