Seismic design procedure and seismic response of post-tensioned self-centering steel frames.

Post-tensioned (PT) self-centering moment-resisting frames (MRFs) have recently been developed as an alternative to welded moment frames. The first generation of these systems incorporated yielding energy dissipation mechanisms, whereas more recently, PT self-centering friction damped (SCFR) moment-...
