This paper reviews the state-of-the-art and–practice on various methodologies developed to
control the wind-induced vibration of tall buildings. Tall buildings experience wind-induced …

Posttensioned bridge rocking systems have emerged as an alternative to traditional ductility
design where substructure elements, such as columns and piles, are designed to dissipate …

This study introduces a new energy dissipation device with a high damping capacity for the
seismic protection of buildings. The device exploits the friction losses between a movable …

An experimental and computational study of an 80-percent scale precast concrete 3D beam-
column joint subassembly designed with high force-to-volume (HF2V) dampers and damage …

The 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence has highlighted the severe mismatch
between societal expectations over the reality of seismic performance of modern buildings …

Despite their good performance in terms of their design objectives, many modern code-
prescriptive buildings built in Christchurch, New Zealand, had to be razed after the 2010 …

To avoid the damage of the connection due to the overstrength of beam strength, and the
alternation of the strength hierarchy in the structural system, a novel precast concrete beam …

Bridge substructures are generally constructed using cast-in-place concrete and designed to
undergo inelastic deformation in earthquake events. Although this construction approach …

Damages to bridge piers were repeatedly observed in many previous strong earthquakes,
resulting in disruptions to traffic and impairing the functionality of road network. Extensive …

Supplemental energy-dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting
loads transferred to structures and absorbing significant response energy without sacrificial …
