Theoretical Results

The interstory drift of frame structures is caused by beams, columns and joints. The calculation formula of storey yield drift for reinforced concrete frame structures is obtained by adding above three kind of deformation, and the comparative analysis show that theoretical results have good consistency with experimental data. The expression formula of storey yield drift angle for steel reinforced concrete (SRC) frame structures are analyzed by using the same hypothesis and methods, and quantified performance index for SRC frames having a certain guarantee value are proposed according to relationship of four seismic performance levels. The conclusion obtained provide basic information for performance-based seismic design of SRC frame structures.

Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures

In this paper the analysis is conducted to investigate the progressive collapse resistance of typical reinforced concrete(RC) multi-story frame structures, which are designed according to the China code for seismic design of buildings. The analysis results show that the progressive collapse resistance will be enhanced with the seismic fortification intensity increasing. The progressive collapse resistance of RC frame structures with low seismic fortification intensity are poor. This implies that as for RC frame structures with low seismic or non-seismic demand, close attention must be paid to continuity and ductility in order to prevent progressive collapse.
