Abstract:When vertical hybrid structures of steel reinforced concrete-steel (SRC-S) are used in multi-story and tall buildings, the connection between the two structural systems would probably dissatisfy the seismic request because of the abrupt change of stiffness. Setting up a stiffness-transition-layer is an efficient way to improve the seismic performance. In this paper, elastic and elastic-plastic analysis was conducted on a six-floor frame structure by Midas software. In the building, concrete encased shape steel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
