This paper presents an innovative structural system, named weld-free system, developed to overcome the difficulty in the quality assurance encountered in construction of steel moment resisting frames with conventional welded connections. The proposed structural system adopts a mechanical joint equipped with metallicyielding damper as beam-to-column connection, wherein slip-critical joints are made by recently developed super high-strength bolts. The structural configuration and loadcarrying mechanism of the weld-free system are described herein. Key features of the super high-strength bolts are also introduced. Consequently, two series of experimental verifications of weld-free steel structures are presented. The first series was conducted on three full-scale models of weld-free beam-column subassemblies and one base-line specimen with conventional welded connection. The second series was performed on the whole full-scale three-story weld-free building. The two test series clearly reveal the efficiency of the weld-free system in enhancing large and stable hysteresis loops, while beams and columns above the base can be proportioned to remain elastic under the design earthquakes.
