Summary
A series of forced vibration tests on a full-scale 4-story reinforced concrete test structure was performed to investigate its dynamic response before, after, and during the time it underwent structural damage. Nondestructive tests were conducted first, exciting four translational modes at force levels within the elastic limit, during which the structure suffered no structural damage. Next, a destructive test excited only the lowest translational mode at high-amplitude destructive levels, during which the structure exhibited inelastic response and suffered major structural damage. Post-destructive tests used force levels similar to the nondestructive tests. The work was in support of the program to develop methods for predicting building response to and damage from underground nuclear explosions.
