This report presents an analytical and experimental correlation of large-panel precast building system performance on the basis of experimental studies of three-story models by means of shaking table and pseudostatic tests. The experimental shaking table tests were performed at the Earthquake Simulation Lab. of the Univ. of California at Berkeley. The pseudostatic ones were carried out at the Inst. of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology, Skopje, Yugoslavia. The study of the correlation between the two types of experimental studies as well as with analytical investigations is part of a joint U.S.-Yugoslav project on the seismic response of highrise residential buildings.
