Based on the model experiment on seismic behavior of a 1-span, 2-story concrete-filled rectangular steel tubal (CFRST) frame under lateral cyclic loads, a 3-D nonlinear finite element model of concrete-filled rectangular steel tubular frame is proposed in the paper. Compared with the experimental hysteresis curve, the computational results are found to be accurate, which shows that this model proposed in the paper can be applied in structure analysis of concrete-filled rectangular tubular frames. So the model was used in the finite element analysis of concrete-filled rectangular frame with different axial load level. Compared the computational displacement envelop curves, it concludes that the ductility and bearing capacity of CFRST frames reduces with the increasing axial load level.

This paper presents experimental results of a series of large-scale reinforced concrete circular and square columns tested under lateral cyclic displacement excursions while simultaneously subjected to constant axial load. All the specimens contained only minimal transverse steel and were then retrofitted with CFRP or GFRP jackets except control specimens. The measured hysteretic loops of the moment vs. curvature and shear vs. deflection relationships are reported for each specimen. It was observed that both CFRP and GFRP wrapping could provide effective confinement and significantly improve the seismic performance of columns. The effectiveness of FRP in enhancing column ductility relates more closely to its tensile strength than stiffness, thus the application of GFRP confinement to concrete columns is promoted due to obtainability and economical concern.

A new type of construction employing shaped steels as boundary elements and layered braces of RC(Reinforced Concrete) short-pier shear wall is put forward. The braces are in X shape and are erected in a multi-storied form. They are embedded in the boundary zone and the web of SRC (Steel Reinforced Concrete) short-pier shear wall respectively to make it possible to improve the bearing capacity and ductility of this shear wall and to improve its seismic performance. Three half-scale specimens of the SRC short-pier shear wall are tested under reversed cyclic loading. High design axial load radio of 0.5 is used. The failure processes and modes of the specimens are observed. The law about bearing capacity and displacement ductility of the specimens influenced by the layered braces structures is revealed. The experimental results show that the displacement ductility is closely related to the amount of stories of braces. The specimens with layered braces structures have better ductility and larger bearing capacity, and therefore the layered braces structures effectively improve the seismic performance of the SRC short-pier shear wall.

Through experimental study of six steel reinforced high strength concrete columns under low cyclic horizontal loads, the influence on anti-seismic behavior of the columns under different axial load coefficient, stirrup ratio and steel reinforced form is analyzed.The study found in addition to the fact that the anti-seismic performance of high strength concrete columns is sensitive to axial load coefficient, steel reinforced form is also an important influencing factor. For high strength concrete columns with different steel reinforced forms, appropriate adjustment of its axial load coefficient may be carried out, however the influence of stirrup ratio is very little on anti-seismic performance of columns.
