Enhancing the Seismic Performance of Precast RC Frames with Cladding Panels through Setting U-Shaped Dampers and Rocking Walls

An approach combining U-shaped dampers (USDs) and rocking walls is proposed in this paper to improve the seismic performance of traditional precast reinforced concrete (RC) frames with cladding panels (PRCFCPs): (1) the steel bar and USD connection methods are adopted at the top and bottom of the cl...
