Seismic Performance of U-Shaped Connection for Prefabricated Steel Plate Shear Wall

Buildings
In this investigation, a U-shaped connection (U-C) was introduced for a prefabricated steel plate shear wall with beam-only connections. This design replaces a portion of shear bolts with tension bolts to enhance bolt efficiency and reduce the overall ...
