The design of the yielding elements is also interlinked with the design of the connecting beam, which often results in a significant over-design. These drawbacks can be mitigated by introducing nonlinear replaceable links at the locations of expected inelastic action. Ten full-scale links were tested at the University of Toronto following incremental cyclic loading protocols for verification of strength and ductility: six shear links for EBFs and four flexural links for MRFs. Two link types were tested for each system: i) back-to-back channels bolted to the web of the connecting beam, ii) W-sections with end plate connections. All end plate links provided good performance and energy dissipation. The channel links exhibited an improved ductility upon improvement of the web connection design.
