Abstract:
This paper presents the results of vibration tests for a full-scale beam-column connection which is damaged by earthquake-type cyclic loading. A specimen was consisted of a hollow steel section column and composite beams with an H-section. At each damage level, the specimen was excited dynamically using a modal shaker. The primary interest of the tests is to examine the relationship between the changes in the dynamic characteristics of the connection and the type and level of seismic damages. The tests and associated supplemental analytical study showed that floor slab damage, which distributed along longitudinal axis of the beams, decreased the natural frequency of the connection while fracture, which concentrated at beam-ends, had little impact on the natural frequency.
