Reduction of Maximum and Residual Drifts on Posttensioned Steel Frames with Semirigid Connections by Arturo López-Barraza, Edén Bojórquez, Sonia E. Ruiz, Alfredo Reyes-Salazar

“…It is concluded that the structural response of steel buildings with posttensioned connections subjected to intense earthquake ground motions is reduced compared with the seismic response of traditional buildings with welded connections. Moreover, residual interstory drift demands are considerably reduced for the system with posttensioned connections, which is important to avoid the demolition of the buildings after an earthquake.…”
