Steel Plate Hoop-Bolted Connection Parameters for Seismic Fragility Analysis

Zhiyuan Gao's dataset contains detailed parameters for specimens used in a seismic fragility study of prefabricated structures. The data supports a comparative analysis between a two-parameter damage model and a traditional drift-based index for six-story frame structures. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-27.

Use Cases

• Compare seismic fragility curves based on a two-parameter damage model versus a drift-based index.
• Validate finite element models of prefabricated columns and beam-column joints using multilinear plastic link elements.
• Apply an energy-dissipation-based story damage weighting method to characterize damage distribution along structural height.

Strengths

• The dataset is associated with a study that validated finite element models against quasi-static test results.
• The dataset is small (5.5 KB), making it quick to download and inspect.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's scope is limited to the specific parameters of the described study.
