Abstract

The application of recycled concrete in building structures can not only effectively reduce the generation of construction waste and reduce the excessive dependence on natural aggregates but can also promote the sustainable use of resources and meet the national “double carbon” strategic requirements. This study investigates the effect of the recycled aggregate replacement ratio on the seismic performance of concrete-filled steel tube column–composite beam frames. Five finite element models were developed, considering varying recycled aggregate replacement ratios and the presence or absence of column-end stirrup-confined reinforcement. Dynamic response analyses were conducted. The results reveal that replacing natural aggregates with recycled aggregates reduces the stiffness of concrete-filled steel tube columns by weakening the core concrete, negatively impacting seismic performance and increasing structural stiffness damage. Column-end stirrup-confined reinforcement reduces interface slip between the core concrete and the steel tube by directly restraining the core concrete, thereby enhancing the bending stiffness of the concrete-filled steel tube column and improving the seismic performance of the structure. The seismic performance of recycled concrete frames with column-end stirrup-confined reinforcement is superior to that of conventional concrete frames, demonstrating that column-end reinforcement can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of recycled aggregate replacement on the structure’s seismic performance.
