In　order　to　study　the　seismic　performance　of　non-ductile　frame　structures　and　develop　efficient　simulation　analysis　methods,　this　paper　developed　a　multi-scale　model　of　non-ductile　frame　by　using　general　finite　element　software　ABAQUS.　The　hysteresis　curve,　skeleton　curve　and　damage　states　of　mid-joint　were　analyzed　by　the　developed　model　for　the　non-ductile　frame.　The　analytical　values　were　compared　with　the　experimental　results.　On　the　basis,　the　multi-scale　modeling　method　was　proposed　for　the　non-ductile　frame　structures,　and　a　performance　comparison　was　made　between　the　proposed　method　and　other　analytical　models.　The　effect　on　the　seismic　performance　of　non-ductile　frame　was　discussed　finally.　The　result　shows　that　the　multi-scale　model　can　simulate　the　boundary　conditions　of　concrete　components　and　the　overall　structural　behavior　in　the　case　of　the　computational　efficiency　to　some　extent.　This　indicates　that　a　balance　can　be　found　in　the　computational　precision　and　efficiency　by　the　proposed　multi-scale　modeling　method,　which　can　provide　technical　support　and　reference　for　the　related　research　in　the　future.　©　2018,　The　Editorial　Board　of　Journal　of　Basic　Science　and　Engineering.　All　right　reserved.
