The invention relates to an evaluation method of earthquake resistant performance of a steel tube concrete building. A building support component is formed by steel tube concrete. The evaluation method comprises the following steps of establishing a space fiber beam finite element model of the steel tube concrete building, developing an analysis method suitable for a fiber beam, considering that the confinement effect and the material characteristic of the elasto-plasticity under earthquake cyclic loading damage a constitutive model and a corresponding subprogram, calculating the finite element model by adopting a software and combining with the material subprogram, evaluating the earthquake resistant performance, and designing the earthquake resistant measure of the building. In the provided evaluation method of the earthquake resistant performance of the steel tube concrete building, the earthquake resistant performance of the building is evaluated on the basis of the maximum inter-story displacement angle limit value required by a steel tube concrete structure by establishing the space fiber beam finite element model of the steel tube concrete building, developing the analysis method suitable for the fiber beam, considering that the confinement effect and the material characteristic of the elasto-plasticity under earthquake cyclic loading damage the constitutive model, calculating the finite element model by adopting the software and obtaining the maximum inter-story displacement angle of the building, and building earthquake resistant measures are planed according to the evaluation result of the earthquake resistant performance of the building.
