Experimental testing of post-tensioned steel-timber hybrid frames equipped with energy-dissipating braces (vol 296,116960, 2023)

•A test on post-tensioned (PT) frames was conducted to examine the feasibility of using a steel-timber hybrid solution to prevent timber column compression perpendicular to the grain direction.•The effects of incorporating PT steel-timber hybrid joints and added damping and stiffness (ADAS) braces into the PT timber frame were analyzed.•The interaction between the ADAS brace and the PT steel-timber hybrid frame was explored.
