Earthquake Response Control of Double-Layer Truss Walls by means of Innovative Fuse Connections
This study deals with partial cylindrical truss walls equipped with damper connections due to horizontal earthquake motions. The damper connection consists of an aluminum ball joint, an aluminum hub, and a steel bolt. A ductile elongation of the steel bolt due to a tensile stress is expected by avoi...
