Abstract:Referring to the criterion of seismic fortification intensity 8 specified by national seismic design code, a /2scaled model of single span and twostory frame composed of RC beams and Tshaped steel reinforced concrete (SRC) columns has been made. A seismic evaluation was performed by the quasistatic testing, including failure pattern, stiffness degradation, ductility and energy dissipation. The experimental results show that the frame has good seismic behavior, and section steel in the columns plays an important role in earthquake resistance. On the basis of experimental study and analysis, it concludes that the seismic behavior of frame with SRC specialshaped columns can satisfy the requirements of seismic fortification.
