[0002] Steel structures are structural systems composed primarily of steel components (such as beams, columns, and trusses) used to support and bear the loads of buildings. Steel structures offer advantages such as high strength, light weight, good ductility, short construction periods, and industrial production capabilities, and are widely used in high-rise buildings, factories, bridges, stadiums, and other projects.

[0003] Existing steel structures used in seismic applications commonly suffer from problems such as excessive rigidity in node connections, simplistic energy dissipation structures, and complex component assembly. These issues lead to insufficient structural ductility under seismic loads, making them prone to brittle failure or permanent deformation, and resulting in difficult and costly post-earthquake repairs. Particularly in multi-story or composite structures, the lack of efficient energy absorption and buffering mechanisms between beams and columns makes it difficult to simultaneously meet structural strength requirements while dispersing and automatically resetting seismic impacts.
