Abstract:To study the seismic resistance of the concrete structure of multi-story hollow block houses, seismic tests were carried out on the concrete structure of a model six-story hollow block house, scaled 1:5. Model parameters were selected according to actual prototype parameters and requirements of the similarity theory, and horizontal and vertical loads were applied by an electro-hydraulic servo loading device and hydraulic jack. A dynamic characteristic test, seismic response analysis, structural maximum seismic response, and displacement response analysis were carried out. Results showed that, with increasing degree of damage, the natural frequency of the model structure increased while damping ratio decreased. Seismic effect on the multi-story hollow block building model with core column was strong. Under strong earthquakes, dynamic characteristics of the structure changed greatly, and the failure layer displayed the maximum response of the building structure. When the acceleration was 125 cm/s, the maximum displacement of the structure was 2.73 mm, lower than the standard value, indicating that the model structure had certain ductility.
