Fabricated　zero　initial　cable　force　friction　dissipation　re-centering　brace　is　proposed.　It　has　simple　structure　and　the　functions　of　energy　dissipation,　re-centering,　avoiding　the　loss　of　prestress.　Theoretical　analysis　of　seismic　performance　is　made.　The　results　showed　that,　there　is　no　stiffness　degradation　in　the　loading　process,　and　the　brace　has　full　hysteretic　curve,　stability　energy　dissipation　law.　When　the　re-centering　process　stops,　relaxing　high　strength　bolts　of　brass-slots　steel　friction　plates　dissipation　can　let　the　brace　back　to　zero　displacement.　So　the　brace　has　excellent　re-centering　function.　©　2016,　Editorial　Office　of　China　Civil　Engineering　Journal.　All　right　reserved.
