This paper proposed a new fully-bolted core tube beam-column joint, and the seismic
performance and structural measures of the joint were investigated. Four specimens were …

A two-level performance-based seismic design (PBSD) approach for frame structures
isolated by self-centring isolators (SCIs) is proposed in this study. Unlike the traditional …

A novel friction-type energy dissipation steel truss (FED-ST) was proposed in this study to
improve the energy dissipation capacity and ductility of the staggered truss framing systems …

Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on smooth round bar specimens made of Q460D high-
strength steel base metal and ER55-G welds after a high temperature of 900° C and natural …

Self-centering energy-absorbing dual rocking core (SEDRC) system was recently proposed
for obtaining damage-free performance under design earthquakes or low damage under …

This paper explores the effectiveness of a brace-type hybrid damper (BTHD) to enhance the
seismic performance of a steel staggered truss frame. The study commenced by overcoming …

This paper presents an innovative two-level shape memory alloy (SMA)-based self-centring
(SC) steel column, referred to as TSSSC. The TSSSC is interconnected by two series of SMA …

Bridge structures adapt to movement through the addition of joint systems that accommodate
anticipated movement due to temperature variations or earthquakes, thereby relieving stress …

This research proposes a novel method of Mid-Storey Pin Moment-Resisting Frames'(MSP
MRFs) ultimate capacity estimation. Shell and solid numerical models with initial …

To improve the seismic behavior of cold-formed steel (CFS) structures and promote the
development of multi-storey CFS structures, proposed was a CFS frame with shear energy …
