The　failure　of　steel　and　cross-laminated　timber　(CLT)　hybrid　structures　is　primarily　focused　on　the　joint　area　of　the　CLT　panel.　To　reduce　the　joint　damage　of　CLT　panels　during　an　earthquake,　a　prefabricated　annular　dissipative　connector　formed　by　double　U-shaped　dampers　is　proposed　for　steel-CLT　hybrid　structures.　The　design　realizes　the　controllable　failure　modes　and　predictable　mechanical　performance　of　the　connection　joints,　as　well　as　the　ability　to　replace　the　joints　after　their　failure.　Cyclic　tensile　tests　were　performed　to　investigate　the　failure　mode,　hysteretic　performance,　and　energy　dissipation　and　deformation　characteristics　of　the　connectors　subjected　to　tension.　The　effects　of　different　design　parameters,　including　the　varied　thickness　and　width　of　the　U-shaped　flexural　plate　(UFP),　on　the　tensile　strength　capacity,　stiffness　degradation,　and　energy　dissipation　are　compared　and　analyzed.　A　detailed　finite　element　(FE)　model　is　developed　to　simulate　the　tensile　behavior　of　the　connection,　and　the　prediction　results　are　found　to　exhibit　good　agreement　with　the　experimental　results.　The　anchoring　strength　of　the　connector　subjected　to　tension　is　further　analytically　predicted.　Moreover,　a　formula　for　tensile　plastic　deformation　is　proposed,　and　provides　good　theoretical　predictions　of　the　tensile　strength　of　the　annular　dissipative　connector　during　the　intermediate　plastic　development　stage.　©　2024
