This paper reviews progress by researchers throughout China Mainland on the seismic research of tall buildings,focusing on three major topics that impact the seismic performance of tall buildings. These are:(1) new types of steel-concrete composite structural members such as steel-concrete composite shear walls and columns,(2) earthquake resilient shear wall structures such as shear walls with replaceable structural components,self-centering shear walls and rocking walls,and(3) performance-based seismic design,including seismic performance index,performance level and design method. The paper concludes by presenting future research needs and directions in this field.展开更多

CRM, a new high-effective mineral admixture for concrete, is developed recently from industrial residue, and the systematical studies on CRM’s various properties have been performed. The laboratory tests, industrial tests and field applications have shown that CRM can be used as inorganic cementitious material to replace cement, and is also an excellent supplementary cementitious material tor high performance concrete (HPC).展开更多
