Abstract:Summary
The low‐damage self‐centering precast concrete (LDSCPC) frame connection was a kind of earthquake‐resilient joint. It was composed of precast beams and columns with embedded steel connectors, post‐tensioned tendons, and replaceable metallic yield dampers. The LDSCPC connections showed excellent self‐centering ability and low‐damage characteristics in cyclic load tests. However, the energy dissipation performance of the metallic yield damper with Z‐shaped energy dissipation strips in the test was not as… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
