| Abstract: | An experimental test setup is described which permits investigation of the torsional- translational response of reinforced concrete structures to earthquake effects. The main feature of the setup is the uncoupling of material interaction while retaining the effects of dynamic interaction. A two degree-of-freedom system was developed with its movement constrained to rotation about two orthogonal axes. The inertial forces developed during earthquake simulation are resisted by two flexural elements, each resisting motion about one axis. This report describes the specimen material properties, fabrication, erection hardware and instrumentation. Features of the earthquake simulator control and data acquisition system are presented. |
