“…However, there was no parametric investigation involved which is the knowledge gap identified to be addressed in this study. P. Cordova et al [9] carried out a laboratory test for the largest and most realistic RCS moment frame at that time in order to validate computer simulation models and seismic design provisions for RCS frames. The study involved a nonlinear time history analysis of a similar structure using OpenSees software.…”

Reinforced concrete steel (RCS) moment resisting frames consist of structural steel beams joined to reinforced concrete columns. In the last decades, extensive research has been carried out for RCS structures because of the efficiency and economy in application for low to mid-rise structures in moderate to high seismic regions. This study aims to investigate the possibility of improvements or limitations of using RCS composite system for high rise RCS structures in regions of high seismicity. This paper presents the results of a parametric study using a finite element analysis. The study involves both linear elastic time history as well as design response spectrum analyses. The parametric study involves the effect of material (reinforced concrete and steel), plan aspect ratio, floor height and beam span. The findings indicate that the use of RCS composite material not only provides a more economic solution, but also increases efficiency in terms of resilience towards dynamic loadings that the structure may be subjected to due to earthquake actions especially in high seismic regions.

“…The ICONS (Intelligent CONtent management Systems) project deeply investigated the definition of behaviour factor, the effective width of composite beams in the earthquake-resistant frames, and the design methodology for concrete slab in rigid fullstrength composite beam-to-column joint [24]. In 2004 another research project was carried out at the University of Taiwan with the aim of assessing the seismic performance of a full-scale plane composite frame realized with composite columns and steel beams [25,26]. The final goal of this research was to examine an innovative pre-cast structural typology and to show the viability of reinforced concrete-steel beam-to-column connections to provide strength and ductility to an earthquake-resistant frame.…”

SUMMARYA multi-level pseudo-dynamic (PSD) seismic test programme was performed on a full-scale three-bay twostorey steel-concrete composite moment-resisting frame built with partially encased composite columns and partial-strength connections. The system was designed to provide strength and ductility for earthquake resistance with energy dissipation located in ductile components of beam-to-column joints including flexural yielding of beam end-plates and shear yielding of the column web panel zone. In addition, the response of the frame depending on the column base yielding was analysed. Firstly, the design of the test structure is presented in the paper, with particular emphasis on the ductile detailing of beam-to-column joints. Details of the construction of the test structure and the test set-up are also given. The paper then provides a description of the non-linear static and dynamic analytical studies that were carried out to preliminary assess the seismic performance of the test structure and establish a comprehensive multi-level PSD seismic test programme. The resulting test protocol included the application of a spectrum-compatible earthquake ground motion scaled to four different peak ground acceleration levels to reproduce an elastic response as well as serviceability, ultimate, and collapse limit state conditions, respectively. Severe damage to the building was finally induced by a cyclic test with stepwise increasing displacement amplitudes.

“…Application of the implicit numeral integration algorithm in pseudo-dynamic testing was studied using a RC frame structure by Qiu Fawei et al (1997a and1997b). Using substructure techniques and appropriate numerical integration methods in a pseudo-dynamic test, substructure pseudo-dynamic tests can well simulate the seismic response of the overall structure Cordova et al, 2004;Li et al, 2010;Tsai et al, 2003;Tsai et al, 2004;Chen et al, 2004;Lin et al, 2004).…”

This paper describes an investigation of a high-strength concrete frame reinforced with high-strength rebars that was tested in the structure engineering laboratory at Shenyang Jianzhu University. The frame specimen was pseudodynamically loaded to indicate three earthquake ground motions of different hazard levels, after which the test specimen was subjected to a pseudo-static loading. This paper focuses on the design, construction and experiment of the test frame and validation of the simulation models. Research shows that a high-strength concrete frame reinforced with high-strength rebars is more effi cient and economical than a traditional reinforced concrete frame structure. In addition to the economies achieved by effective use of materials, research shows that the frame can provide enough strength to exceed conventional reinforced concrete frames and provide acceptable ductility. The test study provides evidence to validate the performance of a highstrength concrete frame designed according to current seismic code provisions. Based on previous test research, a nonlinear FEM analysis is completed by using OpenSees software. The dynamic responses of the frame structure are numerically analyzed. The results of the numerical simulation show that the model can calculate the seismic responses of the frame by OpenSees. At the same time, the test provides additional opportunities to validate the performance of the simulation models.
