Abstract: In order to solve the problems of insufficient energy dissipative stability, complex application processes,low deformation ability,low safety reserve and low cost-effectiveness of additional self-centerting components in self-centerting energy dissipative steel frame joint between beam to column, poor applicability of performance-based design methods of self-centerting energy dissipative steel frame structure,a review and analysis on existing researches have been conducted in several aspects,including the selection of types of additional self-centerting and energy dissipative components,the construction of their connections with steel frames,and the performance-based design of the overall structure where these types of joints are located. The shortcomings of existing researches are clarified,and the key issues of self- centerting energy dissipative steel frame joint between beam to column, which need to be further investigated are addressed.
