Sliding at the base of structures is an excellent source of deformability and damping. This chapter discusses sliding between the structure and its contents. In Chaps. 3 and 4, flexural yielding in building frames, with fully restrained connections, was shown to significantly increase their damping and deformability. While fully restrained connections are stronger than the members being, partially restrained connections are weaker than at least one of the members being joined. This chapter discusses the effects of yielding in partially restrained connections. |
