A Review on the Seismic Performance of Assembled Steel Frame-precast Concrete Facade Panels

Abstract

Abstract Assembled steel structure housing has the advantages of low cost, light weight and flexible space arrangement, which has been largely used in government-subsidized housing in China. Meanwhile with the rising of assembled steel structure housing, precast concrete facade panels have been widely used. In this paper, the research on the seismic performance of assembled steel frame with precast concrete facade panels in China is summarized and discussed, including the influence of precast concrete facade panels, flexible connections and the seismic performance of steel frame influenced by precast concrete facade panels. According to the research status, the mechanical characteristic of the precast concrete facade panels following the deformation of steel frames; the seismic performance influence of the main structure in rare earthquakes because of the flexible connections are analysed. This paper provides a reference for seismic theory establishment of assembled steel structure housing envelope system.
