Abstract

Pullback test has no scrupulous theoretical establishment. It is based on the hypothesis that the response of the structure can be related to the response of an equivalent single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. This implies that the response is controlled by a single mode. In fact, the STEEL FRAME of each SAFE ROOM, which is introduced within the unreinforced MASONRY BUILDINGs for protecting the lives of residents in catastrophic EARTHQUAKE failures, contains a SDOF structural system. In PULLBACK TEST, the STEEL FRAME carries its gravity load first, and then it will be pushed under an incremental lateral roof displacement pattern, which is imposed to its center of mass. This paper expresses the results of 13 PULLBACK TESTs executed by the authors on the STEEL FRAMEs of SAFE ROOMs. The results show that PULLBACK TEST is a practical method for seismic performance evaluation of SAFE ROOMs. Also the performance of these frames located in a collapsing three storey MASONRY BUILDING is presented with favorable conclusions. In fact, the results of PULLBACK TEST of the SAFE ROOM located at the ground-floor level were compared with the requirements of Iranian code for seismic resistant design and it was concluded that the STEEL FRAME had an acceptable performance against seismic effects.
