This paper focuses on seismic responses of a 30-story high-rise building with a dual lateral system of Reinforced Concrete (RC) core shear wall and steel moment frame. To assess the seismic performance of the building, a nonlinear finite element model is built by using the OpenSees software. This three-dimensional model is created by using the fiber-beams for members and multi-layer shell elements for RC core walls. The numerical simulation has been examined under the thirteen sets of strong ground motion records which are scaled with the design and maximum seismic levels, Design-Basis Earthquake (DBE) and Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) level hazards respectively. In consequence, the desirable performance of high-rise steel moment frame building with RC shear core consisting of coupling beams and rectangular shear walls is shown. The outcome of nonlinear time history analyses reports the acceptable seismic performance of tall buildings designed. Results showed that maximum inter-story drift is significantly lower than allowable drift. Also, the RC core wall absorbed almost two-third of the total shear forces from the base level to one-third of height. However, the shear values of the core wall were significantly reduced by increasing the height while the shear values of the steel moment frame stayed constant.
