Self-centering post-tensioned energy dissipating (PTED) steel frames for seismic regions
Author: Christopoulos, Constantin | Size: 9 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: University of California | Year: 2002 | pages: 315 | ISBN: ____
Proposes and experimentally tests a new moment-resisting connection that incorporates high-strength post-tensioned steel elements along with energy dissipating bars, the PTED. PTED connections exhibit greater capacity to ensure small residual drifts through self-centering properties even during significant inelastic deformations during cyclic loading.
