In　order　to　investigate　the　dynamic　performance　of　a　light　steel　frame　structure　with　micro-crystalline　foam　plates,　a　shaking　table　test　of　a　two-story　single-span　light　steel　frame　with　micro-crystalline　foam　plates　was　carried　out.　Three　seismic　waves,　EL-Centro,　Taft,　and　Zhangjiakou　artificial　wave,　were　selected　in　the　test.　The　intensity　of　seismic　ground　motion　range　from　8　to　9　degrees.　The　structure　vibration　performance　was　analyzed　through　analyzing　the　structural　natural　period,　stiffness,　floor　acceleration,　and　floor　displacement.　Suggestions　for　further　engineering　application　of　the　structure　were　given.　The　experimental　results　show　that　under　the　action　of　seismic　intensity　of　9　degree,　the　internal　light　steel　frame　and　wallboard　skeletons　were　almost　undamaged,　except　for　the　partial　peeling-off　of　the　wallboard　skin　and　the　out-of-plane　torsion　of　some　wallboards.　The　connection　mode　of　the　micro-crystalline　foam　plate　and　the　frame　could　produce　relative　dislocation,　which　could　reduce　the　inter-story　displacement　of　the　structure　to　a　certain　extent.　The　X-direction　horizontal　stiffness　of　the　structure　had　a　large　degrade.　However,　there　is　no　danger　of　collapse　under　the　action　of　rare　earthquake　with　seismic　intensity　of　9　degree,　which　can　meet　the　seismic　resistant　requirements　for　large　earthquakes.　Flexible　materials　are　needed　to　add　to　the　reserved　joints　between　adjacent　walls　to　improve　the　impact　and　extrusion　phenomenon　between　adjacent　walls.　©　2019,　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　of　Harbin　Institute　of　Technology.　All　right　reserved.
