The objective of this paper is to research seismic performance of the weak-axis column-tree connections. For this purpose, two specimens CTY600 and CTY900 were fabricated and tested in this experiment. From the test results, the CTY specimen successfully achieved a 5% rad story drift ratio without brittle fracture and the total plastic rotation reached over 0.04rad.
