Abstract
A precast frame model made of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) been constructed with precast beams, columns and Cast-In-Place (CIP) joints. Then a shaking table test was carried out with three types of earthquake ground motions, namely Wenchuan, El Centro and artificial Shanghai waves. Based on the shaking test, the test program is presented and analyzed. The paper focuses on the shaking test program, including materials, similitude law and scaled model, instruments, seismic waves and loading program. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding on the process of shake table test is revealed thanks to the results of an investigation on a precast frame structure made of recycled aggregate concrete.

Keywords
