Composite　frames　consisting　of　concrete-filled　steel　tubular　(CFST)　columns　and　steel　beam　are　being　used　more　and　more　popularly　in　building　structures.　In　China,　the　composite　frame　structures　are　often　mixed　with　reinforced　concrete　shear　walls　to　form　a　high-rise　building　system.　However,　there　was　seldom　information　on　the　seismic　performance　of　this　kind　of　mixed　construction.　Shaking　table　tests　on　two　building　models　with　30　storeys　consisting　of　composite　frames　and　RC　shear　walls　were　thus　presented　in　this　paper.　CFST　columns　with　circular　and　square　sections　were　used　in　the　composite　frames　respectively.　Three　kinds　of　real　earthquake　records,　including　Taft　(EW),　El　Centro　(NS)　and　Tianjin　waves　with　peak　accelerations　of　0.2g,　0.4g,　0.6g,　and　0.8g,　were　applied　respectively　to　Simulate　different　levels　of　earthquakes　in　the　tests.　It　was　found　that　the　composite　frames　cooperated　well　with　the　core　RC　shear　wall　structure　under　earthquakes,　and　the　two　building　models　exhibited　excellent　seismic　performance.　(c)　2008　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
