Shaking table testing of a post-tensioned tendon frame retrofitted with metallic shear panel dissipator

Two alternative passive seismic protection technologies have been combined in a single experiment to assess their synergy. The first, a nonlinear-elastic posttensioned tendon frame, uses steel tendons to connect structural elements. Joints can rotate elastically allowing large recoverable interstory...
