In this paper, the hysteresis performance of an assembled bolt-connected buckling-
restrained brace (AB-BRB) is experimentally discussed by a parametric study, and five …

As a high-performance hysteretic damper, buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) can
significantly improve the seismic behavior of engineering structures and protect the main …

This paper presents a comprehensive economic seismic loss assessment of emerging steel
frames incorporating different types of self-centering braces. Particular focus is on failure …

This paper proposes a seismic resisting technique for reinforced concrete frame buildings
that uses a combination of a rubber core and a U-shaped friction damping system. The U …

This experimental study investigates cyclic performance of a timber-steel hybrid structural
system consisting of glulam frames and buckling restrained braces (BRBs). The BRBs are …

Seismic base isolators are used extensively in buildings, bridges, and critical infrastructure.
During a seismic event, these isolators simultaneously experience the service loads and the …

In this paper, the behavior of a natural rubber bearing system (NRBs) equipped with U-
shaped dampers is investigated. The U-shaped dampers consist of shaped memory alloy …

Prefabricated tension-only concentrically braced beam-through frames (BTFs) have
received popularity for low-rise steel buildings in low to moderate seismic regions. However …

Building isolation is a practical and ubiquitous method for reducing inter-story drift and story
acceleration. Previously it has been shown that since an isolator can increase the time …

This study proposes an innovative prefabricated damping wall panels infill for semi-rigid
connected steel frame to release adverse infill-frame interaction. The comparative …
