The authors are developing the connecting seismic shear walls to the surrounding structural frame through the bolted friction-slipping joints that function as energy dissipation dampers during an earthquake. This friction-slipping joint is composed of a steel plate, concrete plate, and the bolts to joint both together. This paper presents the outline of the dynamic loading tests to investigate the friction coefficient of the joint during slipping, changing displacement amplitude, loading velocity, concrete compression strength, thickness of concrete plate and the initial tension given into the bolts. And this paper also presents a simplified equation to predict the friction-slipping behavior of the joint.
