The purpose of this paper is to investigate the seismic performance and flexural capacity of precast prestressed efficiently fabricated frame (PPEFF) joints. Reverse cyclic load tests and flexural capacity analysis are conducted. The damage modes, hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, stiffness degradation, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of five PPEFF joint specimens with different reinforcement rates of the energy-dissipating bars and shear reinforcement are obtained. The results show that the damage pattern of the specimen is ideal, i.e., the plastic hinge region at the end of the beam is severely damaged, whereas the remainder of the beam is slightly damaged. Increasing the reinforcement rate of the energy-consuming steel bars enhances the load capacity, energy dissipation capacity, and initial stiffness of the joint but reduces the ductility performance. The maximum change in ductility was 5.31 for the reinforcement rate of energy-consuming steel bars ranging from 0.38% to 0.59%. In addition, the flexural capacity of the PPEFF joint is evaluated, considering the influence of the shear steel on the yielding and ultimate states. An equation of the flexural capacity is derived. A good agreement is observed between the experimental and calculation results, verifying the correctness of the proposed flexural capacity equation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0270978","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,18]],"date-time":"2022-07-18T17:28:45Z","timestamp":1658165325000},"page":"e0270978","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Performance
