Abstract

Since recent advances of technology in material science and increasing demand for high strength steel, Q460 high strength steel has been applied to several landmark buildings and major projects. However, the application of high strength steel in seismic structures is limited by the relative worse ductility, which is usually decreasing with the increasing on yield strength. For this purpose, key issues of using high strength steels in seismic structures are discussed and two design methodologies are proposed. Recent research progress on application of high strength constructional steel achieved at Tongji University is introduced. Finally, future work related to the application of high strength steels are recommended.
