Posttensioned Energy Dissipating Connections for Moment-Resisting Steel Frames
Abstract
The seismic performance of a posttensioned energy dissipating (PTED) connection for steel frames is investigated analytically and experimentally. The PTED connection incorporates posttensioned high-strength bars to provide a self-centering response along with energy dissipating bars that are able to yield in axial tension and compression. The analytical study involves the development of an equivalent iterative sectional analysis procedure to …
