Concrete Plank Diaphragm Characteristics

砌体结构包括建筑结构的很大一部分 在美国和全世界。 配筋砌体建筑用途是 在中到高地震带增加，因为它的明显 经济性、消防安全性、建筑灵活性和易用性 建筑业。 砌体结构分析与设计的现状 设计、材料和施工技术不能使 准确预测建筑物在横向荷载下的行为， 地震荷载 该研究项目是一个实验和分析 混凝土板横隔板地震反应的研究。 许多砖石建筑都是用楼板系统建造的 由混凝土板组成。 两项任务中的第一项将是 混凝土横隔板的足尺试验测试。 第二 该任务将把现有的隔膜数据与实验测试相结合 数据来确定行为和强度特征。

Masonry construction comprises a large portion of building construction in the U.S. and the world. Reinforced masonry construction use is increasing in moderate to higher seismic zones because of its apparent features of economy, fire safety, architectural flexibility, and ease of construction. The present state of masonry structural analysis and design and materials and construction technologies does not enable an accurate prediction of building behavior under lateral loads such as seismic loads. This research project is an experimental and analytical investigation of the seismic response of concrete plank diaphragms. Many masonry buildings are constructed with floor slab systems consisting of concrete planks. The first of two tasks will be full-scale experimental tests of concrete diaphragm slabs. The second task will integrate existing diaphragm data with the experimental test data to determine the behavioral and strength characteristics.
