Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Frame Buildings in the Whittier Earthquake

地震资料的收集和利用是一项重要的 从地震事件的影响中吸取教训的方法。 这 研究项目使用的数据来自1987年10月1日，惠蒂尔-纳罗斯 地震 五座钢筋混凝土建筑，装有强大的- 本研究项目正在研究地震动设备。 强烈的地面运动记录正在分析， 建筑物的理论响应分析。 观察到的 反应正在与计算机方法确定的反应进行比较 从而允许对当前的设计方法程序进行评估 和现行抗震设计规范要求。

Collection and utilization of data from earthquakes is an important method to learn lessons from the effects of seismic events. This research project uses data from the October 1, 1987, Whittier-Narrows Earthquake. Five reinforced concrete buildings that were instrumented with strong- ground motion equipment are being studied by this research project. The strong-ground motion records are being analyzed with a subsequent analysis of the theoretical response of the buildings. The observed response is being compared with that determined by computer methods thus allowing an evaluation of current design methodology procedures and current seismic design code requirements.
