Seismic Behaviour of Composite Panel Composed of Laminated Wood and Bearing Glass - Experimental Investigation

Within the bilateral scientific project between the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology - UKIM-IZIIS, St. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia and the Civil Engineering Faculty, University of Zagreb, Croatia, experimental testing of full scale composite timber-glass innovative panels was carried out on the seismic shaking table at IZIIS for the purpose of defining their behaviour and stability under real earthquake conditions. The seismic excitations selected for the shake-table testing of the model were four representative accelerograms recorded during the following earthquakes: El Centro, Petrovac, Kobe and Friuli. The idea was to investigate the seismic behavior of the model under several types of earthquakes, considering their different frequency content, peak acceleration and time duration. The performed tests showed clearly the behaviour of the composite panels and the failure mechanism under strong earthquake motion.
