The seismic performances of the large-span prestressed concrete frame structure of bunker bay of thermal power plant under different intensity level was investigated by shaking table tests.A 1/8 microconcrete nonfull weight scaled model was designed according to the prototype structure and the conditions of laboratory.Three kinds of scaled ground motion accelerations were employed as seismic excitations.White noise was input in the structure through each seismic wave applied.The experimental results indicate that the structure is safe to endure seven degree intensity as required in Chinese codes.The natural vibration frequency of the structure is decreasing with the increasing of the seismic intensity,the natural vibration frequency of the structure decreases by about 24.5%,and the structural stiffness reduces by nearly 44% in seven degree intensity of seldom occurred earthquake.The damage at the top of column in the first floor is the most serious,the weak part of the structure is at the first floor,and the strong beam/weak column phenomenon appeared obviously,so this kind of large-span prestressed concrete frame should not be used in a high intensity district.
