Abstract:This study presents novel research on the seismic behavior of self-centering reduced beam section (RBS) connections in steel structures. Unlike traditional moment steel frames that concentrate non-elastic deformations in energy dissipation devices, the innovative self-centering RBS connections utilize posttensioning techniques to restore the structure to its pre-earthquake condition. By significantly reducing residual deformations, these connections offer a promising alternative for improving seismic resilienc… Show more
