A Seismic Risk Assessment of Concrete-Filled Double-Skin Steel Tube (CFDST) Frames with a Beam-Only-Connection for Reinforced Concrete Shear Walls (BRWs)

The beam-only connected reinforced concrete shear wall (BRW) is used as a reinforcing component to enhance the seismic performance of concrete-filled, double-skin steel tube (CFDST) frames. The effects of the BRW on seismic risks of CFDST frames are investigated. Three performance levels of limit states are defined and described according to the typical failure of test specimens and the existing definition of current guidance. A simplified numerical model is calibrated for CFDST frame-BRW structures, and test results validate it. Nonlinear dynamic analyses on a nine-story CFDST-BRW building are performed to investigate the effects of BRW on reducing the seismic risk of CFDST buildings. The results show that the BRW reduces the probability of collapse of the CFDST frame to 2.76% in 50 years, which can effectively reduce the probability of different degrees of damage in the service cycle of the structure. The results provide information for risk-informed decision-making on the design of CFDST frame-BRW structures.
