Abstract:
SP84 A joint U.S.-Japan cooperative earthquake engineering research program produced a series of papers published as 13 chapters in this volume. Included are: Static tests on shear walls and beamcolumn assemblies and study on correlation between shaking table tests and pseudo-dynamic tests; Construction and instrumentation of the full scale specimen; Comparison between the reinforced concrete test structure and design requirements from U.S. and Japanese Building Codes; Testing procedure and preliminary test results of a full scaleseven story reinforced concrete building; testing, repair and strengthening, and retesting of a full scale seven story reinforced concrete building; inelastic behavior of the seven story building; Analysis of the full scale seven story reinforced concrete test structure; medium scale wall assemblies: Comparison of analysis and test results; Full scale tests of beamcolumn joints; Scale model tests of Structural components and assemblies; and Earthquake simulation tests of scale models.

This paper presents the background of activities leading to the current U.S.- Japan Cooperative Earthquake Engineering Research Program on the seismic perfornance of building structures which is being conducted under the auspices of the U.S.- Japan Panel on Wind and Seismic Effects, United States - Japan National Resources (U.J.N.R.) Program with major financial support provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the Japanese Ministry of Construction (MOC), and the Japanese Science and Technology Agency (STA). Also presented is a brief description of the current program and a statement on the coordination effort which is the responsibility of a Joint Technical Coordinating Committee (JTCC).

Studies conducted at the University of California at Berkeley on a 1/5th-scale model of a seven-story reinforced concrete frame-walll test structure are summarized in this paper and the results of these studies are evaluated. The degree of correlation between the experimental responses of this reduced-scale model and those of the full-scale model tested in Japan is assessed as is the degree of correlation between analytically predicted and experimental responses. The implications of these results for the states of the art and practice of the seismic resistant design and construction of framewall structural systems are discussed and improvements in the states of the art and practice are recommended.

Three one-tenth scale models of the large-scale reinforced concrete structure tested in Tsukuba, Japan, were built and tested at the University of Illinois, Urbane. The small-scale models were subjected to scaled earthquake motions in one horizontal direction. The paper describes some of the dynamic response measurements and discusses the observed strength of the structures in relation to planar limit analysis.

A full-scale seven story reinforced concrete building structure was tested as a part of the U.S.- Japan Cooperative Earthquake Research Program. Behaviors of the structure from the elastic stage to the ultimate stage were observed in the tests consisting of vibration tests, floor loading test, static loading tests, and pseudo-dynamic tests. This paper describes the pseudo- dynamic test method applied to this test which reduced a multi-degree-of-freedom system to an equivalent single-degree-of freedom system. The effectiveness of the equivalent single-degree- of-freedom pseudo-dynamic test method was verified by comparing the results of numerical response analyses with the test results. This paper also presents test results for the vibration tests, the floor level loading test, and the static loading tests carried out in order to determine the dynamic characteristics and behavior of the structure in the initial stage.
