Tests on a two-story reinforced concrete building subjected to bi-directional reversed cyclic loadings were performed at the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering(NCREE) in Taiwan to examine the torsional effect caused by the eccentricity of the building plan layout. The tests were undertaken as part of an international collaboration project between the NCREE and the University of Houston, Houston, Texas(UH). In order to evaluate the torsional effect, two low-rise shear walls on the east side of the building and one mid-rise shear wall on the north side were designed to make the building structurally asymmetrical. This research focused on the development and progression of nonlinear combined actions in the experimental technology. Finally, results obtained from this experiment were used to correlate analytical tools and new design methodologies. |
