Abstract
This paper presents shake table test results on two identical 1:0.429 scaled, 8-story moderately ductile RC shear wall specimens under the expected high-frequency ground motion in eastern North America. The walls were designed and detailed according to the seismic provisions of the NBCC 2005 and CSA-A23.3-04 standards. The objectives were to validate and understand the inelastic responses and interaction of shear and flexure and axial loads in the plastic hinge zones of the walls taking into consideration the higher-mode effects. One specimen was tested under incremental ground motion intensities ranging from 40 to 120% of the design level. The intensity range was increased from 100 to 200% for the second specimen. The response of the walls was significantly affected by the second mode, causing an inelastic flexural response to develop at the base as well as at the sixth level. Dynamic amplification of the base shear forces was also observed in both walls. In the second wall, which was tested in the undamaged condition, peak base shear forces occurred prior to significant inelastic rotation and the contribution to concrete of shear resistance exceeded the value used in the design. Once inelastic rotation had developed that contribution corresponded to the value obtained using a value of 0.18 for the reduction factor accounting for concrete cracking. Inelastic rotation in the upper wall region was found to limit the force demand imposed by the higher-mode response.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
