Studies of Design, Evaluation, and Analysis Methods for Earthquake Resistant R/C Structures Using Data from the Chilean Earthquake of 3 Mar 1985

1985年3月3日智利地震提供了一个特殊的机会， 研究现行建筑抗震设计方法的适用性 区界限 许多现代建筑受到了 冲击设计的横向力量与那些使用的 美国西海岸。 6栋建筑物（3栋严重受损） 和三个未受损或轻度受损）进行了研究， 设计、评估和结构细节的方法。 实验 进行研究，以建立三维的有效性 建筑中的框架系统。 本项目是作为 一个合作研究计划，研究智利的影响， 地震对建筑结构的影响

The March 3, 1985 Chile earthquake presents a special opportunity to study the adequacy of current design methods for buildings in seismic zones. Many buildings of modern construciton that were affected by the shock were designed for lateral forces comparable to those used on the West Coast of the United States. Six buildings (three heavily damaged and three undamaged or lightly damaged) are studied for analytical methods for design, evaluation, and structural details. Experimental study is conducted to establish the effectiveness of three-dimensional framing systems in the buildings. This project is prepared as part of a cooperatve research program to study effects of the Chilean earthquake on building structures.
