Smart connection systems : design and seismic analysis / Jong Wan Hu, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Incheon National University, Incheon, Republic of Korea
This book introduces new smart connection systems which can be used in aseismic building design in order to control inter-story drifts and to reduce residual displacements. They are also utilized as damper devices and base isolators. The application of these systems to composite moment frame buildings will also be treated in the book. In addition
