A　self-centering　prestressed　beam-column　connection　(SCPBCC)　with　weakened　flange　cover　plate　(FCP)　is　proposed　to　achieve　self-centering　features　and　post-earthquake　recoverability　at　reasonable　cost.　The　selfcentering　and　energy　dissipation　capacity　of　SCPBCC　are　controlled　respectively　by　the　prestressed　cable　and　FCP,　and　the　bearing　capacity　of　SCPBCC　is　controlled　by　adjusting　the　bearing　ratio　of　the　cable　and　FCP.　Five　SCPBCC　specimens　were　subjected　to　large　and　small-amplitude,　cyclic-loading　tests.　The　test　results　demonstrated　that　the　new　SCPBCC　can　meet　requirements　of　stiffness　and　strength,　achieve　excellent　self-centering　features,　survive　multiple　aftershocks　and　allows　for　replacement.　The　connection　can　supply　ample　energy　dissipation　through　cyclic　yielding　of　the　FCPs.　Reasonable　variable　section　and　limited　prestress　can　protect　beams　and　the　column　from　plastic　deformation.　The　proposed　design　methodology　ensures　good　bearing　and　self-resetting　capacity　for　SCPBCCs.
