A new type of bracing system composed of friction energy dissipation devices for energy
dissipation, pre‐pressed combination disc springs for self‐centering and tube members as …

Partially self-centering behavior has been considered a promising and beneficial solution for
achieving seismic resilience of building structures in the life-cycle span. This paper aims to …

The present study develops and experimentally verifies a new type of earthquake-resilient
bracing system. The proposed pre-pressed spring self-centering energy dissipation (PS …

A pre-pressed spring self-centering energy dissipation (PS-SCED) bracing system has
significant energy dissipation and re-centering abilities, although many welds result in a …

Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) are normally incorporated in the beam-column structures
to serve as energy dissipation members due to their stable hysteretic behavior. However, the …

The self-centering brace (SCB) has drawn the attention of many researchers for its good
seismic performance in reducing structural residual deformation due to earthquakes …

This paper introduces and provides the experimental results related to a new self-centering
steel tension-only brace with energy dissipation characteristics. The introduced brace has …

In recent years, major earthquakes in China, Chile, New Zealand and Japan caused many
building structures severely damaged, which must be overhauled or rebuilt. Therefore, how …

Buckling restrained bracing (BRB) was firstly introduced in Japan construction industry in
year 1989. With time, BRB performance has been advanced to self-centering BRB (SC-BRB) …

Quasi-static reversed cyclic loading tests and finite element analyses of a pre-pressed
spring self-centering energy dissipation brace are conducted. The proposed steel bracing …
