Abstract:A two-story and two-space structure model (1/4 scale) is tested under low-cyclic loading for studying the antiseismic behavior of the brick building with frame on the ground floor. This paper presents mainly the development and pattern of cracks, failure mechanism,hysteresis behavior, strength and stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. The calculated results by elastic finite elemet method are also compared with the results of test.
