Experimental multi-level seismic performance assessment of 3D RC frame designed for damage avoidance.

Experimental multi-level seismic performance assessment of 3D RC frame designed for damage avoidance.

This paper experimentally investigates the application of damage avoidance design (DAD) philosophy to moment resisting frames with particular emphasis on detailing of rocking interfaces. An 80 percent scale three dimensional rocking beam-column joint sub-assembly designed and detailed based on damag...
