Shaking table tests of horizontal composite structure of reinforced concrete and timber frame

Abstract

The horizontal composite structure consisting of reinforced concrete and timber frame was tested at full scale shaking table tests in parameters of specification of the floor and number of stories. After BCJ wave of maximum acceleration 350gal, no damage appeared in these structures with high eccentricity. The shear force of timber was reduced in both specimens of the timber floor and the RC slab. By comparison with test results, the design method that the shear force produced in timber frames is transmitted to the reinforced concrete shear wall was safety. As described in this study, it was confirmed through shaking tests that the method for building with high eccentricity can be designed with structural safety.
