Present Research and Prospect of Seismic Fragility for Steel-Concrete Mixed Structures

Abstract:

Because of possessing the advantage of steel structures and concrete structures, the steel-concrete mixed structure has been developed rapidly and used widely. And at present, it has been a popular structural type in high-rise buildings. Although mixed structures have been used in earthquake region more and more, seismic fragility studies for this type of construction is scarce. Based on analyzing and summarizing the available studies on structural seismic fragility, present research situation on seismic fragility of mixed structures at home and abroad is described; the key problems to solving urgently in the analysis of seismic fragility for mixed structures are put forward; and the trend of development is forecasted. Study on the issues above will give some help to aseismic design, strengthening, repairing and disaster reduction of mixed structures.
