Abstract

The seismic performance of indoor water supply pipes plays a significant role during earthquakes, and the failure of pipes causes severe economic losses and other disasters. This paper presents shaking table test research on water supply pipes installed in a full-scale masonry structure. Three different material pipes and three different material fillers were combined to evaluate the difference in seismic performance. In this study, normalized floor response spectra and pipe acceleration amplification factors obtained from experimental data were compared with code provisions. Spectrum analysis was used to evaluate the pipeline seismic response, and the results showed that the combination of pipes and fillers with similar material properties vibrated partially at multiple frequencies. In contrast, the combination of pipes and fillers with very different material properties only vibrated near the predominant structural period.
