Structural connection with predetermined discrete variable friction forces
This paper presents a simple and practical structural connection able to develop predetermined discrete variable friction forces at target design displacement levels. The innovative connection is termed Modified Friction Device (Modified FD). Modified FDs are used to transfer the seismic induced hor...
