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.

A planar wall-frame assembly and an isolated wall were constructed and tested under reversing static loads. The wall-frame assembly was a mediumscale representation of the wall-frame section of the full-scale structure tested in Japan. The isolated wall was identical to the wall section of the wallframe assembly. The analytically predicted strengths were ten and four percent less than the measured strengths of the wall-frame assembly and isolated wall, respectively. The overall behavior of the medium-scale specimens and the full-scale structure were similar. An analysis was made to predict the strength of the full-scale structure by scaling up the medium-scale results. However, it was only after calculations were made including strength contributions of three- dimensional effects, that the analysis agreed well with measured strength of the full-scale structure. Measured strains indicated that boundary element hoops were subjected to significant strain only over the lower portions of the first story. Strains in all other boundary element hoops monitored were relatively small. None of the instrumented column hoops or beam stirrups experienced strain greater than yield, even though several instrumented stirrups were located in beam hinging regions.

Four full-scale beam column slab assemblies were tested under reversed cyclic loads. The test program included two interior and two exterior joint specimens. The first two specimens, one interior and one exterior, were identical to beam column joints in the second story of the full-scale seven story structure tested in Japan. I n the remaining two specimens the longitudinal reinforcement in the beams and the columns was increased to provide a variation in beam-to-slab strength. Results are presented to give an overview of the experimental program. The behavior of the four specimens under reversed cyclic loads was excellent up to story drift levels estimated to correspond to the maximum deflection level imposed on the seven story structure. The influence of the slab on the strength of the floor system under imposed deformations was significantly greater than would be anticipated using the ACI effective slab width as a flange for T-beam analysis.

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.

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).
