This research proposed a calculation method for the deformation of the frame system with
the artificial controllable plastic hinges (APHF). The lateral deformation amplification …

This paper proposed a replaceable friction-type artificial plastic hinge (FAPH) to connect the
prefabricated concrete members, characterized by direct load transmission and streamlined …

In recent decades, precast concrete buildings have undergone significant development,
attracting considerable academic attention to their mechanical performances. Unlike cast-in …

It is an effective strategy for improving the seismic performance of a building to install
dampers to absorb seismic energy. This study presents a hybrid lead viscoelastic damper …

The seismic performance of buildings can be improved by adding supplemental damping
using friction dampers. The friction behavior of the metallic shims becomes more stable with …

A novel metallic damper with torsional-yielding on the circular steel tube, called torsional
steel-tube damper (TSTD), is proposed in this paper. Four specimens are designed for …

This study proposed a hollow laminated viscoelastomer-filled steel tube damper (HLVSTD),
which consists of a hollow laminated viscoelastomer, a steel tube, and two connection end …

To improve seismic capabilities and to reduce post-earthquake residual deformation of
precast concrete frames, a novel self-centring hybrid connection (SCHC) composed of a …

A force-resisting rotary friction damper (RFD) is proposed in this paper, which can be
applied where there is a large rotational deformation. Its exclusive configuration lies in that …

The study proposes a solution of constructing the inevitable rectangular opening in the
reinforced concrete (RC) slab upon the metallic damper for the RC beam-column frame to …
