“…For this purpose, low shear strength materials are usually applied in the horizontal sliding joints, such as steel plate, 15 corrugated steel sheet, 26 extruded elastomer, 27 wooden plank, 28 high damping rubber, 29 and modified asphalt waterproof 30 . Similarly, wooden planks with or without shear key, 31,32 multiple slit devices, 33 friction‐based devices, 34 steel tee energy absorbers, 35 steel cushions, 36 and mobile guide rail 37 are some optional choices to form the sliding joints for the vertical subpanels. Although the partitioned infills with sliding joints confirm low damage characteristics compared with traditional infills, the unexpected corner crushing or cracks of the infills once the drift ratio is higher than 3.0% still can be observed in literature at present, 38–40 which may inevitably lead to high repair cost after the earthquakes 41–43 …”
