Abstract
(1) Perfect elasto-plastic hysteresis was observed until the wedge's sliding displacement reached its maximum. (2) Story shear stiffness, strength and energy absorption capacity were easily evaluated. (3) Plastic deformation capacity remaining after an earthquake can be evaluated by checking the wedge's total sliding displacement. (4) Performance-based design can be easily achieved with this brace.
