Seismic Energy Dissipation of Steel Buildings Using Engineered Cladding Systems
This research examines the seismic energy dissipation potential of steel structures by focusing on new types of specially engineered cladding-to-frame connections. Traditional connection details consist of rigid restraints of cladding panels, resulting in seismic design that only considers the panel...
