Seismic behavior of a new separately-anchored self-centering frame

Key Points

• The self-centering frame demonstrates improved seismic behavior under simulated earthquake conditions, enhancing stability.
• Key metrics indicate a notable reduction in permanent displacements during seismic events compared to traditional frames.
• Analysis of experimental data reveals the unique performance characteristics of this new frame design under stress conditions.
• Further validation in real-world scenarios may be required to confirm findings and potential for broader applications.
