comment

I conduct research on joints in steel-structured Architecture. During a major earthquake, joints are subjected to extremely harsh conditions. Past earthquake disasters have shown that the performance of joints is the dominant factor in a building's seismic resistance. The performance of joints can only be achieved when both design and construction are in harmony. In particular, there are still many unanswered questions regarding the behavior and failure of joints in the ultimate state, and I am researching rational design and construction methods.
