ABSTRACT A new yielding damper, called Bar Damper (BD), made of a number of solid
bars sandwiched between two plates is introduced in this paper. Based on a simplified …

This paper investigates the effectiveness of a new hybrid passive control system on the
seismic response of an existing steel cable-stayed bridge considering the pounding effect …

The cable-pylon anchorage zone is a crucial part to ensure the safety of the cable-stayed
bridge. However, the true stress and cracks of the cable-pylon anchorage zones are hard to …

Remote sensing technologies have a direct impact on gaining structural damage information
due to their powerful flexibilities, such as wide field of view, non-contact, low cost, and fast …

This paper presents a new metallic damper called hexagonal honeycomb steel damper
(HHSD) for damage mitigation in structures subjected to earthquake excitations. The HHSD …
