dc.description.abstract |
The 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes caused significant damage to both traditional and modern reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. There has previously been a significant amount of research into the seismic behaviour of precast concrete floor systems, and the observed damage caused to precast floor systems should be compared against the expected levels of performance. Preliminary results of an investigation into the performance of precast concrete floor systems during the Canterbury earthquakes are presented. In general, only minor damage was observed in precast floor units and the severe damage in several buildings was attributed to displacement incompatibilities in the structure and the lack of robustness of the entire floor diaphragm. Additionally, it is expected that if current best-practice recommendations were followed, the resulting damage to precast floors would have been significantly less than was observed following the earthquakes. |
