This paper proposes replaceable buckling-restrained flange cover plates to improve the seismic performance and resilience of steel frame joints. Five full-scale specimens were designed and tested under cyclic loads to investigate the hysteretic performance. The investigated parameters were the core plate thickness (affecting strength ratio  α  and thickness-gap ratio  β ) and restraining plate configuration (affecting restraining length ratio  λ  and restraining plate disconnected position ratio  ψ ). Numerical models were established using ABAQUS and verified through comparisons with experimental data and phenomena. The results show that the proposed joint can achieve the expected target of buckling-restraint and damage control.
