The Influence of Different Parameter on the Seismic Behavior of SRUHSC Frame by Yingchao Ma, Jinqing Jia

“…The test results reveal that the seismic response of the frame is closely related to the failure process and failure mode of the columns. Based on the results, a systematic exploration is further conducted in terms of the characteristics of the skeleton curve, hysteresis curve, strength degradation, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation capacity of the structure. …”
