Abstract

The establishment of a reasonable restoring force model is the basis for popularizing the application of the structure of recycled aggregate concrete filled steel tube (RACFST) frame infilled with recycled hollow block (RHB) masonry wall. To achieve this goal, 2 specimens of RACFST frames infilled with RHB masonry walls were designed under cyclic reversed load, and the hysteretic and skeleton curves were obtained. The results show that the hysteretic curves of specimens present plump spindle shape, meaning the structure has good energy dissipation ability. The working stages of specimens can be divided into four stages including integral elastic working stage of filler wall and frame, frame elastic working stage, elastic–plastic working stage and failure stage. Based on the parallel model of wall and frame, the calculation model for the inter-story bearing capacity, lateral stiffness and unloading stiffness of specimens were put forward respectively. Furthermore, the four polyline restoring force model for the structure was built, and it had good agreement with the experimental hysteretic curves.
