Seismic Performance of a Novel GFRP Moment-Resisting Frame with Ductile Steel Links
Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) offer many benefits, but their low ductility limits their use in primary components of moment-resisting frames (MRFs), where beam-end plastic hinging is expected. To overcome this drawback, this study introduced an innovative ductile MRF system composed of pultruded I-shaped FRP beams a...
