Analysis of the Seismic Performance of a Masonry Structure with RC Frames on the First Story with Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular Dampers

The concrete shear walls of masonry structures with RC frames on the first story are low-rise shear walls with a height–width ratio of less than 1. The strength, stiffness, and ductility of these low-rise shear walls are not matched, resulting in poor seismic performance. Based on the idea of the pa...

description The concrete shear walls of masonry structures with RC frames on the first story are low-rise shear walls with a height–width ratio of less than 1. The strength, stiffness, and ductility of these low-rise shear walls are not matched, resulting in poor seismic performance. Based on the idea of the passive control theory and multi-seismic defensive lines, the scheme of a masonry structure with RC frames on the first story with a concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) dampers is proposed in this paper. To explore the seismic mitigation effect of CFST dampers applied to a masonry structure with RC frames on the first story, the seismic performance under low-reversed cyclic loading of the frame with the CFST dampers is first compared with that of the energy-dissipated low-rise concrete shear wall proposed by previous researchers and the ordinary low-rise concrete shear wall. Furthermore, the response of the masonry structure model with RC frames on the first story with CFST dampers and two other comparative structural models under earthquake action are discussed. The results show that a masonry structure with RC frames on the first story with CFST dampers has a fuller hysteretic loop, lighter pinching, better energy dissipation ability, and better seismic performance. Compared with the other two structures, the energy dissipation capacity of the masonry structure with RC frames on the first story with CFST dampers is significantly improved, by 1.25~1.5 times. The amplification effect of the deformation angle allows the CFST dampers to play a significant role in energy dissipation, whereas the main structure still undergoes a small deformation. The CFST dampers can dissipate more seismic energy to protect the main structure from damage and improve the seismic performance of masonry structures with RC frames on the first story.
