The material properties were obtained by performing tension tests on coupons taken from the steel members. Similar components were made from the same heat of steel for both specimens. Coupons WA-1 and WA-2 were removed from different legs of the web angle L2´2´5/16. Coupons TSA-1 and TSA-2 were removed from different legs of the top-and-seat angle L5´3´5/16. Coupons CW-1 and CW-2 were removed from the web of column member W5´19, and coupons CF-1 and CF-2 were removed from the flange of the W5´19. Coupons BW-1 and BW-2 were removed from the web of beam member W8´13, and coupons BF-1 and BF-2 were removed from the flange of the W8´13. The coupons were fabricated by cutting a 2 inch ´18 inch block from additional steel pieces provided from the heat, and then milled to the required dimensions as shown in Figure 3.2.1. Tension testing of coupons was performed in an MTS hydraulic testing machine in the Structural Engineering Laboratory at the University of Minnesota. It is noted that, although the columns were A572 Grade 50, the static yield strength was approximately 45 ksi.

Casting was initiated by pouring the concrete through three portal openings cut into the form on the east side of the wall, spaced uniformly across the mid-height of the panel. When the vibrated concrete reached the bottom of the portals, these portals were sealed with wood blocks, and the concrete pour continued through three chutes at the top of the infill panel, also spaced uniformly along the width of the panel. The concrete was allowed to harden 72 hours before removal of the forms. After removal of the forms, the concrete was covered with burlap and kept continuously moist for four days. The concrete that formed in the chutes was then chipped off and sanded smooth. Thirty-six 4 inch´8 inch cylinders were cast for each batch of concrete mix. Half of the cylinders were moist-cured (ASTM C192), and the others were cured under the same conditions as the infill panels. Content of the concrete mix included: cement, pea gravel, sand, fly ash, water, and retarder. The properties of each material include: Coarse aggregate: 3/8 inch maximum-size pea gravel (ASTM C33) with an oven-dry specific gravity of 2.63, absorption of 1.33%, and oven-dry rodded unit weight of 104 lb per cu ft. Fine aggregate: Natural sand (ASTM C33) with an ovendry specific gravity of 2.61 and an absorption of 1.07%. The fineness modulus was 2.70. Cement: Type III (ASTM C150) Fly ash: Class F (ASTM C618) Retarder: WR Grace Daratard-17 (ASTM C494) For the concrete mix, the water to cementitious material ratio was 0.71, the coarse aggregate to cementitious material ratio was 2.64, and the fine aggregate to cementitious material ratio was 3.38. The fly ash constituted 20% of the cementitious material by weight. The retarding admixture was 7 fl oz/100 lb cement in each batch of mix, which had approximately 0.35 cu yd of concrete.

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Minnesota at Twin Cities 3rd Seismic Test of Phase 5 Xiangdong Tong Group P 1-9 Seismic Behavior of Composite Steel Frame-Reinforced Concrete Infill Wall Structural System /UMN_Data/Thesis/ Ph.D. Thesis 2001 /UMN_Data/Chapter3/Chapt3D/Fig3.4.8.vsd Instrumentation Plan: Strain Gages in the Connection Region UMN_Figure3.4.8 Task 1.3.3 - Dynamic Characteristics of Wood-Frame Buildings Test Strucuture Absolute Acceleration, North-South Direction Absolute Acceleration to the North is Positive Group D 1-23 UMN_Composite_infill_wall_BehaviorOfStud Pseudo dynamic UMN_Site The observations derived from the behavior of the interface headed stud connectors pertain to interface slip demands, stud axial strain demands, stud yielding, stud fracture, and interface concrete confinement. These are: 1) The headed studs connectors along the beam-infill wall interfaces had higher slip demands than the headed stud connectors along the column-infill wall interfaces. Furthermore, the slip demands were approximately equal in the two loading directions for the studs along the beam-infill interfaces, but had a large difference in the two loading directions for the studs along column-infill interfaces. 2) The headed studs along the bottom interface of each infill appeared to have the highest forces based upon strain data. These forces likely were sufficiently large to reduce the shear strength of the studs. However, failure of studs was likely controlled more directly by strain demands leading to low-cycle fatigue fracture. The majority of the studs that failed did so by low-cycle fatigue. The fractured studs were along the beam-infill interfaces. With respect to the low-cycle fatigue failure of the studs, it appeared that the slip demands far outweighed the axial deformation demands. 3) The headed studs along the top interface of each panel exhibited a more ductile failure pattern that the headed studs along the bottom interface, indicating that isolating the studs from the concrete at the base may be an effective approach for increasing their slip capacity. 4) The headed studs along the beam-infill wall interface were well confined by the reinforcing cages, but the corner concrete along the column-infill wall interfaces crushed substantially at limited interstory drift demands, indicating more confining steel is needed in these locations.s. Behavior of Interface Headed Stud Connectors UMN_Chapter6 /UMN_Data/Chapter6/Chapt6.doc UMN_Stud_Results This Event compares the “axial” and “bending” strain demands of the interface headed stud connectors, discusses the slip and separation demands along the interfaces, and determines the deformation capacity of the headed studs due to the low-cycle fatigue. Graduate Student Co-PI Jerome 001230 Hajjar Pseudo dynamic The main conclusions derived from the global response of the specimen pertain to strength, drift capacity, ductility, and distribution of forces between the frame and panel. These are: 1) The specimen provided sufficient system overstrength. The specimen was sized to resist approximately 70 kips prescribed design lateral load. The maximum load of the specimen was approximately 160 kips, 2.3 times the design lateral load. The yield strength of the specimen was defined as 85% of the maximum load, 1.9 times the design lateral load. 2) The second story interstory drift was able to surpass 3% without collapse of the structure. Approximately 50% of the lateral strength was lost when the total drift of the specimen was increased from 0.75% to 1.25%. The decrease in the lateral strength was primarily induced by the quick disruption of the corner concrete in the second story and failure of the headed stud connectors along the beam-panel interfaces. 3) The ductility index, m, is approximately equal to 4 for the second story and 3 for the entire structure. The first story was unable to exhibit the same level of the ductility, and consequently it did not dissipate the same amount of energy as the second story. The primary factor responsible for this behavior was the fixity of the first-story columns, which is an artifice of the test setup used. 4) The lateral shear force was resisted primarily by the compression strut and interface headed stud connectors. At the design lateral force level, the headed studs resisted 80-90% of the total lateral load, and the remaining 10-20% was resisted by the compression strut. The compression strut was required to resist increasing amounts of lateral shear force as the number of stud failure increased. 5) The overturning moment was shared by the steel frame and the RC infill wall. At the design lateral force level, the steel frame resisted approximately 80% of the overturning moment. The steel frame was required to resist increasing amounts of overturning moment as the number of stud failure increased. /UMN_Data/Chapter4/Chapt4.doc General Behavior of the Specimen UMN_Chapter4 UMN_GeneralBehavior_Results UMN_Composite_infill_wall_GeneralBehavior This ProcessedEvent reports the strength and stiffness of the specimen; describes the observed behavior of each of the component, such as the cracking and crushing of the RC infill wall, yielding of the steel frame, and fracture of the interface headed stud connectors; and evaluates the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of the specimen.

The first Event Group of the composite infill wall test. UMN_Composite_infill_wall_EventGroup1 UMN_LoadHistory Cyclic loading history UMN_Composite_infill_wall_LoadHistory The cyclic loading history on the composite infill wall. The cyclic loading history is shown in Figure 3.5.1. A total of 25 loading cycles were divided into 9 loading groups. Each group had 3 loading cycles except for the last two groups, which had 2 loading cycles each. The cyclic loading history was modified from SAC protocol for testing of steel beam-column connections and other steel specimens (SAC, 1997). In order to capture the characteristics of crack formation and Fig. 3.5.1 Loading History progression in the RC infill wall, 3 loading group were applied before the total drift reached 0.5%, and these first 3 loading groups was controlled by the peak lateral load, with 40 kips for Group1, 80 kips for Group 2 and 120 kips for Group 3. The loading history of the remaining 6 loading groups was controlled by the total drift of the specimen, with 0.5% for Group 4, 0.75% for Group 5, 1.0% for Group 6, 1.25% for Group 7, 1.5% for Group 8 and 1.75% for Group 9. During these 6 loading groups, the increment of the total drift was set at 0.25% instead of the 0.5% or 1% in SAC protocol (SAC, 1997) because the specimen exhibited quick change in lateral stiffness and strength in such an increment of total drift. During each loading cycle, the specimen was first loaded in the south direction, then unloaded, and then loaded in the north direction, then unloaded. The reading of the applied lateral load and lateral displacement at each story level were set to be negative when the specimen was loaded in the south direction, and positive when the specimen was loaded in the north direction. In the following chapters, each loading group is sometimes referred to by using its the peak total lateral drift of the specimen during the first cycle of that loading group. Therefore, “0.05% cycles” represents loading group 1; “0.2% cycles” represents loading group 2; “0.3% cycles” represents loading group 3; “0.5% cycles” represents loading group 4; “0.75% cycle” represents loading group 5; “1.0% cycle” represents loading group 6; “1.25% cycle represents loading group 7; “1.5% cycles” represents loading group 8; and “1.75% cycles” represents loading group 9. Each loading cycle is named according to its corresponding loading group and the cycle number in that loading group. If necessary, one letter (A, B, C, or D) is attached to the end of the cycle name to refer a specified quarter cycle of that loading cycle. As shown in Figure 3.5.1, these four letters (A, B, C, D) represent the four quarters of each loading cycle in sequence. For example, cycle G5-3-A represents the first quarter cycle of the third cycle of loading group 5 (“0.75% cycles”). 1.0 UMN_Figure3.4.3 /UMN_Data/Chapter3/Chapt3D/Fig3.4.3.vsd Instrumentation Plan: Strain Gages on the Columns Instrumentation of the steel columns UMN_Composite_infill_wall_SensorSetup_columns Instrumentation of the partially-restrained connection regions Instrumentation Plan: LVDTs in the Connection Region /UMN_Data/Chapter3/Chapt3D/Fig3.4.7.vsd UMN_Figure3.4.7 UMN_Composite_infill_wall_SensorSetup_connection Material properties of headed studs The material properties of the headed studs, as provided by Stud Welding Associates, included the yield strength of the stud steel at 62.3 ksi, the tensile strength of the stud steel at 80.2 ksi and the maximum elongation at 21.0% for a two inch gage length.

Pseudo dynamic UMN_Chapter5 Local Response of the Steel Frame and the Reinforced Concrete Infill Wall /UMN_Data/Chapter5/chapt5.doc UMN_Wall_Results UMN_Composite_infill_wall_BehaviorOfWall The main observations derived from the local responses of the steel frame and the infill wall pertain to deformation demands of major components, internal force distribution in the steel columns, and strength capacity of the PR connections. These are: 1) The steel column flanges exhibited moderate yielding in and near the connection regions, but extensive shear yielding occurred to the steel column web due to the increasing compression strut force. As designed, the steel beam had minor shear yielding in the connection region so that the plastic deformation of the connection was contributed primarily by the connection angles. 2) The axial forces in the two columns comprised an important couple to resist overturning moment. The ratio of the tensile force in the windward column to the compressive force in the leeward column was greater than 1, and this ratio increased with increasing drift demands. It was more than 2 when the specimen reached its maximum strength. 3) The maximum shear force in the column occurred in the connection region, at the cross section just below or above the centerline of the bolts connecting the seat angle to the column flange. 4) As designed, the RC infill wall exhibited approximately uniform shear deformation until the headed studs failed and the corner concrete crushed. The percentage of the interstory drift induced by the gross shear deformation of the infill wall increased with increasing drift demands. In the first story, this percentage reached more than 50% when the specimen achieved its maximum strength. 5) The load-deformation response envelope of the PR connections exhibited bilinear (elastic-plastic) behavior. The plastic hinges in the PR connections started to form before the specimen reached its maximum lateral strength, and the plastic mechanism of the PR connections was fully achieved in the 0.75% cycles when the specimen reached its maximum lateral strength. 6) The plastic moment capacity of the PR connection was decreased by approximately 60% due to the coupled axial force. The confining concrete around the top and seat angle increased axial tensile strength of the PR connection by approximately 20%.

Comparing with the Multi-site Online Simulation Test (MOST) conducted on July 30, 2003, the Mini-MOST experimental hardware, as implied by its name, is small in size and can be easily packed and shipped to other places. However, the software involved in this experiment is similar to what was used for the MOST experiment and provides the same level of funcationlaity and services. Therefore, Mini-MOST experiment provides a desirable platform for students and researchers to be familiar with the NEESgrid software and to gain first-hand experience before conducting full-scale experiment. Moreover, the Mini-MOST experiment can also be utilized for the purposes of educational demonstration and software installation debufgging. miniMOST-1 NEESgrid service NEESpop server U_Washington_Site The NEES experiment site at Washington University.

A barrel pluviator was used to achieve 20% relative density in the loose sand layer. A clay slurry consisting of reconstituted bay mud was prepared with a mixer, placed on the loose sand surface, and consolidated under a hydraulic consolidation press to a vertical pressure of 240 kPa. The clay layer was constructed in two lifts with a drainage layer consisting of filter paper and small sand seams between the lifts. After consolidation, the river channel was carved into the slope using a thin metal wire. The model was then flooded with CO2 gas and placed under a vacuum of 25 in. Hg to remove the air in the sand. Water was dripped slowly into the model until the water level reached the desired height, which required approximately 13 hours. A sheet-aluminum rectangle with dimensions 26.5 x 17.0 x 6.5 cm (10.4 x 6.7 x 2.6 in.) was pressed in to the clay in the location where the pile cap would be placed, and the clay inside of the rectangle was excavated. The piles were driven into the saturated model 5 cm at a time using a drop hammer and the pile cap was progressively slid down in 5 cm-increments after each of the piles had been advanced 5 cm. The process was repeated until the piles had been advanced to the desired depth. A plumb line and spirit level were used to ensure that piles were driven in vertically. The bucket was tilted at an angle of 0.75o during pile driving to ensure that piles were close to vertical during the shakes. The bucket was at an angle of 1.4o downward from horizontal while spinning, therefore the tops of the piles were tilted 0.65o toward the north before the shakes. The pile cap was lowered into the excavation such that it was horizontal and its top was flush with the clay surface on the south side. Plaster was placed between the pile cap and sheetaluminum rectangle. A clear lexan cover was fastened to the top of the model container to prevent dessication of the clay due to air movement while the centrifuge was spinning.

A pile group consisting of six 0.73-m-outer-diameter prototype steel pipe piles was modeled using aluminum tubing with an outer diameter of 1.905 cm (0.75 in.) and a wall thickness of 0.089 cm (0.035 in.). An embedded aluminum pile cap with dimensions 26.5 x 17.0 x 6.5 cm (10.4 x 6.7 x 2.6 in.) provided fixed-head conditions. The soil profile was prepared with an 11- cm-thick deposit of moderately over-consolidated clay overlying a 12-cm-thick loose sand layer (Dr = 20%), overlying dense sand (Dr = 80%). All of the layers were built to a slope of 3o, and the model container was tilted at an additional angle of 1.4o during spinning for an overall slope of 4.4o. A “river channel�? was cut at 25o through the clay layer in the east-west direction near the north end of the container. FSB2, a flexible shear beam model container, was used in this test. A total of six shaking events were applied to the model at a centrifugal acceleration of 38.1 g. The shaking was applied transverse to the river channel in the north-south direction.

Parisi F. 2001 Group B 1 California Residential Construction <p>One clear issue that emerged from the Invitational Workshop on Seismic Testing, Analysis and Design of Woodframe Construction, organized by Element 1 of the CUREe-Caltech Woodframe project, was the lack of understanding of the seismic behavior of woodframe systems. Very few numerical models capable of analyzing the seismic behavior of three-dimensional woodframe structures currently exist. In addition, only limited experimental data has been generated at the system level.</p> <p>The research program of Element 1 emphasizes testing and analysis at both the component level and system level. The research strategy of Element 1 incorporates five main research tasks, with one of two shake table tests of large-scale woodframe systems to be conducted in the early stage of the project. The results of these shake table tests can be used to shape the testing and analysis to be performed in the subsequent tasks. </p> CUREe-Caltech Woodframe Project Task 1.1.1 - Shake Table tests of a Simplified Two-Story Single-Family House Shake table test descriptions, test phase descriptions, instrumentation, and construction drawings Uniaxial Seismic Simulation UC San Diego Facility Test Phases 1-4 Two-Story Single-Family House Test Structure Absolute Acceleration, East-West Direction Group E Absolute Acceleration to the East is Positive Task 1.2 - Organization of an International Benchmark Stee CUREe-Caltech Woodframe Project Cobeen Kelly Testing and Analysis 0000220 http://www.curee.org 100001 Consortium of Universtities for Research in Earthquake Engineering As of January 2004, there are 28 University Members in 16 states - 354 professor members Field Investigations Education and Outreach <p>The primary objective of this shake table testing was to measure and quantify the building’s overall dynamic characteristics and its component responses for various construction configurations, and to document how the distribution of forces within the structure changes between the various configurations. Another objective was to establish relationships between ground motion severity, deflections, damage, and to provide data for defining realistic performance objectives. The data collected from the tests can now be used in the development of analytic models for complete buildings and the prediction of damage states and failure modes. The shake table test results also provide a basis for calibration of the project’s other individual component, full-scale building test results and their integration into analytic models. </p> The project is funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through a grant administered by the California Governors Office of Emergency Services.

A series of prototype structures were designed to initiate investigation of the linear elastic response of the system, and to identify typical member sizes that have the potential to provide acceptable seismic performance. A preliminary design guideline was proposed for designing the prototype structures. 1) To investigate the cyclic behavior of composite steel frame-RC infill wall structural systems by performing cyclic static loading tests on a one-third scale, two-story, one-bay specimen. Strength and stiffness deterioration, energy dissipation capability, deformation capacity of the structural components, and proportions of the forces resisted by different members are the major concerns in the investigation. The primary part of this research was conducting a cyclic loading test on one two-story, one-bay specimen, which represented the bottom two stories of a six-story prototype structure at approximately one-third scale. The steel frame comprised W5´19 wide flange columns and W8´13 wide flange beams. The columns and beams were joined through partially-restrained (PR) connections, which comprised top and seat angles and double web angles. The 3.5 inch thick infill wall was cast using regular concrete, with 0.5% reinforcement ratio in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Headed studs were used as the interface connectors, and were confined by steel cages to increase their strength and ductility.
