Shake Table Tests of Structures with CFS Strap-Braced Stud Walls

Article Preview

Abstract:

The unconventionality of the cold-formed steel (CFS) structures raised, in recent times, a lot of interest from many national and international companies resulting in the promotion of experimental activity with the main aim of investigating the seismic behaviour of these systems. In this perspective, a research project carried out at the University of Naples “Federico II” and funded by Lamieredil S.p.A. company started in the last years. The study included an extended experimental campaign, involving shake table tests on two three-storey prototypes in reduced scale (1:3). The investigated lateral load resisting systems were CFS strap-braced stud walls, designed as low dissipative seismic structures. The present paper illustrates case study, prototypes, test program and main shake table tests results.
