Seismic Evaluation of the RC Moment Frame Structure using the Shake Table

This paper presents the findings of an experimental investigation on a reinforced concrete frame structure (ordinary moment resistant frame). The test model was subjected to lateral excitation employing 1994 Northridge earthquake accelerogram. fabricated in 1:3 reduced scale acquiring dimensional similarities. utilized ingredient mix ratio 1:1.65:1.75 and water binder 0.47. dynamic characteristics (natural frequency elastic viscous damping) were calculated using free vibration record. Story shear, drift, displacement profiles drawn multiple records along with damage patterns capacity curves. natural 2.47Hz for specimen, which is equivalent 1.41Hz prototype. Structural damping (elastic viscous) 12.36%
