This paper summarizes the comparison of seismic performance between single and double unit tunnel form building (TFB) under in-plane lateral cyclic loading. Experimental work was carried out to determine the lateral strength capacity, stiffness, ductility, and equivalent viscous damping (EVD) for both specimens. The comparisons of these parameters for both specimens were made to determine its percentage difference. The maximum lateral strength capacity obtained from single unit TFB with 8.68% higher than double unit TFB. As for stiffness behaviour, single unit was found to be much more stiffened compared to double unit. The EVD value showed that single unit absorbed much more energy compared to double unit of TFB. However, double unit TFB indicated a significant percentage of increment compared to the single unit TFB. Therefore, double unit TFB is safer to be built compared to single unit especially for seismic regions. |
