Abstract
To protect the external wall panel of the steel frame in prefabricated construction, a kind of ring-shaped energydissipating device (RSED) was proposed and further studied, which can connect the wall panel and steel frame. The hysteretic performance of steel frame-external wall panel system (SFEWPS) with RSED as the joint is analyzed via the finite element method, to quantify the protective effect of RSED on a wall panel. The results are that even under extremely rare earthquakes, RSED can still effectively control the energy consumption of wall panels, and play a protective role for it. In addition, combined with failure mechanism analysis, this paper proposes the best parameter selection for RSED.
