Abstract

A new configuration of RC core wall combined with steel BRBF (buckling-restrained braced frame) core is an interesting idea in tall building seismic design. This concept can be used in the plan configuration of tall core wall systems. In this study, three tall buildings with different configurations of core systems were designed and analyzed. To study the seismic performance of combined core systems with RC wall and BRBF, nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA) was performed at maximum considered/credible earthquake (MCE) and design basis earthquake (DBE) level, and the results were discussed. The results demonstrate that using enough BRBFs can reduce the large curvature ductility demand at the base and mid-height of RC core wall systems and also can reduce the maximum inter-story drift ratio. For a better investigation of the structural behavior, the probabilistic approach can lead to in-depth insight.
