Figure 15 : The acceleration on the right side of the steel frame (a) sample 1 and 2, b) sample2& 3). Figures 13 -16 show the acceleration imparted to the building for the three kinds of concrete. Using shotcrete with high Young's modulus increases the building resistance against lateral load. Acceleration in the concrete layers of higher Young's modulus is more uniform and evenly distributed over all the building panels. Comparing the two shapes with each other shows that using sandwich panels with Silica additive (increasing the Young's modulus) improves the seismic behavior of a building.
