###### Abstract
Numerous building regulations, such as the American ACI Code (ACI 318-R) [16] or the Turkish Building Earthquake Code (TBEC 2018) [17], have initiated the incorporation of clauses addressing precast joints but frequently stipulate that any innovative connector must exhibit performance that is equal to or surpasses that of a corresponding monolithic joint. Consequently, the responsibility rests on researchers and practitioners to undertake both extensive experimental studies and high-fidelity numerical simulations capable of validating the potential for stable hysteretic behavior, sufficient energy dissipation, and re-centering if necessary. Over the past decade, the shift towards performance-based earthquake engineering has increasingly emphasized the necessity for specialized components that can be repaired or substituted following a seismic event, thus minimizing downtime and enhancing the post-event operational capability of the structure. The principal aim of this investigation is to enhance the comprehension of how a novel replaceable plastic hinge mechanism, referred to in this discourse as the ACPH, can be assimilated into the beam-to-column junctions of PRC frameworks. The intention is to examine an innovative design that confines seismic damage within a meticulously calibrated steel hinge assembly, thereby enabling the overarching structural components, specifically the beams and columns, to retain significant elasticity even amid intense seismic activity. By obstructing the emergence of conventional plastic hinges within the beams themselves, it becomes plausible to either completely safeguard or substantially mitigate damage in primary structural elements, culminating in a structure that can be expediently repaired and restored to normal operations after a substantial earthquake. Recent trends in seismic engineering prioritize resilience-oriented design, which not only meets structural performance criteria such as strength, ductility, and energy dissipation but also extends beyond life safety to include post-earthquake functionality, rapid recovery, and minimized downtime. Resilience, as articulated in modern frameworks, emphasizes systems that are not only damage-resistant but also swiftly repairable with minimum intervention, especially in critical infrastructure and industrial contexts. [PERSON] et al. [18] underscore that the incorporation of resilience measures in RC systems must include both structural integrity and lifecycle continuation after seismic occurrences. In this context, the ACPH system, originally proposed by [PERSON] et al. [15], provides a strong alternative to traditional detailing by localizing inelastic behavior in easily replaceable steel plates, thereby minimizing long-term maintenance requirements and improving the structure's ability to return to function after significant earthquakes. This research enhances the existing literature focused on integrating seismic safety with structural resilience. The uniqueness of this research is in its system-level implementation and validation of the ACPH inside full-scale precast concrete frameworks, with multi-bay and multi-story configurations built using inferior materials. This research expands the analysis beyond prior work that focused only on subassembly testing to include the frame-level seismic response under actual ground motion input. The ACPH structure utilizes standard steel grades, bolted interchangeability, and modular assembly, attributes that enhance practical viability for extensive field use in retrofit or new construction scenarios.
