Abstract

The great Hanshin-Awaji earthquake has brought a large number of structural failures, and some of them of them are considerably different from the failures in the past earthquakes. One of them is the brittle fracture of steel box column of a high building. In this study, to clarify the fracture process in large members such as the steel box column and H-steel beam subjected to severe land movements caused by strong near-source earthquake, dynamic behavior of full-scale shaking table specimen was analyzed. In the analysis, specimen was modeled in detail in order to compare analytical results with the experimental results. Through the comparisons, an effective earthquake-proof construction was discussed.
