Attributable to the superiority in construction speed and quality, modular steel constructions
(MSCs) have been increasingly used for mid-to-high rise buildings with repetitive units. An …

The detrimental infill‐frame interaction and vulnerable nature of the traditional solid infill
walls might change the seismic behavior of the infilled reinforced concrete frames. To …

The stability of precast concrete wall panels under seismic action can be ensured by means
of dissipative systems of panel-to-panel connections that allow to control the level of forces …

Semi-rigid connected steel frame is characterized by excellent displacement ductility and
energy dissipation capacity, while detrimental infill-frame interaction from the traditional infill …

Precast concrete sandwich panels are an increasingly popular means of building cladding.
They can be designed with high thermal resistance by embedding abundant insulation …

Previous research projects and post-earthquake field observation showed that dry-
assembled precast frame structures with hinged beams and cantilever columns restrained at …

The cladding‐structure interaction of precast concrete frame systems under seismic action
has not been properly addressed in the past, as shown by several failures occurred under …

The seismic performance of precast frame structures strongly depends on the mechanical
devices connecting both structural and non-structural elements. Following recent post …

Abstract Multiple Slit Devices (MSDs) are plasticity-based dissipative connectors consisting
of steel plates provided with slits which lead to a set of elementary beams. In this way, the …

A precast concrete frame structure with a new energy dissipative cladding panel connection
system (EDCPCS) based on the damping concept is proposed, in which line connection is …
