Modified TCCMAR 5-Story RM Research Building

本工程进行了一座5层足尺配筋砖混结构的试验研究。这是TCCMAR计划下的最后一个研究项目，它将使极限状态砌体设计指南和分析模型验证得以完成。正在测试的研究大楼由一个5层的双肢剪力墙结构组成，它将允许延性体系的性能，同时为迄今尚未回答的分析和在法兰墙体和楼板横隔板的有效宽度等方面进行设计模型验证，楼板的耦合效应，以及高阶振型对设计剪力的影响。这些实验将在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的查尔斯·李·鲍威尔结构实验室使用伪动力测试设备进行。这项研究的基本目标是检验TCCMAR抗震配筋砌体结构的设计理念和建议，并为所开发的分析方法提供可行的试验验证。这项研究还将提供更高的模式效应的洞察，因为它们在一些当前的设计实践中遇到。预计它还将有助于制定现有砖石结构的维修、翻新和加固措施。该项目是TCCMAR计划的顶峰，该计划将随着该项目的成功完成以及通过另一个配套项目开发极限状态设计标准的同时努力。

A 5-story full-scale reinforced masonry research building test is undertaken in this project. This is the final research project under the TCCMAR program which will enable the limit state masonry design guideline and analytical model verification to be completed. The research building under testing consists of a 5-story coupled shear wall structure which will allow a ductile system behavior while providing a complex test bed for so far unanswered analytical and design model verification in areas such as effective width of flanged walls and floor diaphragms, coupling effects of floors, as well as higher mode effects on design shear forces. The experiments will be conducted in the Charles Lee Powell Structural Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego using the pseudo-dynamic testing facilities. The basic objectives of the research are to test the TCCMAR design philosophy and recommendation for seismic reinforced masonry structures and provide a viable experimental verification of the analytical procedures developed. The research will also provide insight into the higher mode effects as they are encountered in some of the current design practice. It is also expected to contribute to the development of repair, retrofit and strengthening measures for existing masonry structures. This project is the capstone of the TCCMAR Program which will be drawn into a successful completion with this project and the concurrent effort in developing the limit state design standards underway through a separate companion project.
