Abstract

Frame-supported shear wall structures are designed with more limitations than shear wall structures and frame-tube structures because of the abrupt change of vertical stiffness. The transform members are proposed to be designed with enough stiffness to ensure those stories below the transform floor being damaged latter than the upper part. The seismic performance was researched by using numerical method for such a structure. Numerical results show that this kind of structure would be damaged as we expected if stiffness has been controlled reasonably, and it can exhibit good seismic performances either, though this structural form is not suggested by Chinese codes.
