YIELD DISPLACEMENT EVALUATION OF RC BUILDINGS EXAMINED BASED ON SHAKING TABLE TEST

Yield displacement is an important parameter that directly used in computing damping factor of buildings the Capacity Spectrum Method. In this paper, evaluation method a yield building firstly developed so it can quantitatively consider hysteresis energy absorption characteristics structural components. The proposed is, secondly, examined based on shaking table test 80% scale 5-story RC frame specimen to find estimated following have good agreement with those obtained Sa – Sd results.
