Abstract:

Simulation of collapse procedure of a scaled reinforced concrete structure is carried out and compared with the results obtained by a prototype shake table model and spring base isolator experiments. The experiment was performed using RC building model and analyzes the time of cracking under Magnified excitation. Springs-with-damper base isolator installed under a three-storey building. It is a base isolation device approximately similar to Lead Rubber Bearing. This experiment is totally based on frequency ranges. In this experiment we compare our structure with the natural frequencies of building and analyze the results i.e. in which frequency, cracking starts in RCC building structure and our building is safe.
