Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1247-1269, May 2026.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...
