Abstract

A foundation work for reduction of earthquake response was proposed and the dynamic deformation characteristics of a high damping material employed in this foundation work were shown in previous papers (Part I and II). A mixture material of gravel and asphalt termed Asphalt Gravel was selected for the high damping material. Dynamic deformation tests and earthquake loading tests obtained in using large-scale specimens are presented in this paper. The test results indicated that the dynamic characteristics of Asphalt Gravel in earth-quake loading tests were nearly equal to those by dynamic deformation tests for sinusoidal input wave.
