In order to investigate the calculation methods on crack resistance capacity of connection composed of cross shaped steel encased ultra high strength concrete (CSSEUHSC) columns and steel encased concrete (SEC) beams under cycle loads, six interior connection specimens were tested in the laboratory. A discussion on the crack resistance capacity was presented. Calculation methods of crack resistance capacity were deduced based on the experimental case and calculation results were in good agreement with the experimental results. The research results indicated that parameters of connection composed of CSSEUHSC columns and SEC beams with better crack resistance performance may be referred for engineering application.
