Abstract:Based on the experimental of Chinese traditional style architecture lintel-column joint with steel-concrete composite structure under dynamic cycle loading, the failure characteristics and seismic behavior of the specimen are researched, which including the failure characteristics, skeleton curves, mechanical behavior such as the load-displacement hysteretic loops, load carrying capacity, degradation of strength and stiffness, ductility performance. The results indicate that the Chinese traditional style architecture with steel-concrete composite structure has good seismic performances. Compared with lintel-column joints, loading capacity of dual lintel-column joint is higher, and the hysteretic loops of the latter is in plump-shape. However, the displacement ductility coefficient of latter is little less than lintel-column joints. and the effect of eave column which locate in dual-lintel-column joint is similar to ring beam which can enhance the the whole performances of building structures. The research results presented can be used as reference on the application of Chinese traditional style architecture in practical engineering.
