| Abstract: | Shaking table tests were conducted on a 1/20 scaled-model of a 25-story steel-concrete composite high-rise building, composed of steel frame (SF) and concrete tube (CT). The seismic behavior of the model was investigated with the increasing of table-input acceleration amplitudes. It has been found that the seismic failure of the model concentrated on the shear walls and corner columns at the lowest story of the CT as well as the joints between the SF and the CT. Even subjected to extremely strong earthquakes, due to effective composite action, the composite model was able to support its weight to prevent collapse. |
