Abstract

The present invention relates to a prefabricated infilled panel-frame structure capable of accommodating seismic-loading and seismic energy dissipation, and a construction method thereof, including a frame body, a prefabricated infilled panel group, a panel connector, and a disc spring assembly. During an earthquake, the present invention slides to dissipate energy only after the maximum starting sliding force is exceeded, thus providing the structure with a relatively high lateral stiffness prior to sliding. After an earthquake, the disc spring assembly of the present invention may provide a certain restoring force due to being compressed so as to reduce the residual displacement. Further, the present invention achieves the bidirectional deformation cooperation of the prefabricated infilled panel under earthquakes, so that the infilled panel may still achieve the function of seismic energy dissipation under the coupling action of in-plane and out-of-plane loads.
