Abstract:
Steel-concrete composite structures, which possess the advantages of both steel structures and concrete structures, have been quickly developed and widely used. Up to now, it has been a popular structure form for high-rise buildings. Although composite structures have been more and more used in earthquake regions, relevant fragility analysis is not available in the literature. A performance-based fragility analysis method is proposed, with uncertainties due to variability of ground motion characteristics and structures taken into consideration. Four ultimate damage states for entire structure and interstory are defined, and based on which, a method for solving the limit values of the four performance levels is put forward. Seismic fragility analysis is carried out for two different concrete-filled square tubular (CFST) frames, and fragility curves are derived to assess and compare the seismic performances of the two structures.
