Moment resisting frames possess significant ductility and thus are commonly used in
earthquake-resistant designs. However, excessive deformation due to lower stiffness and …

In this study, the performance of triangular added damping and stiffness (TADAS) dampers
combined with curved dampers (Curved-TADAS damper) is evaluated in moment resisting …

This study experimentally evaluates the seismic performance of knee braced moment
resisting frame (KBRF) systems. A series of cyclic load tests were performed on the special …

Knee Braced Frame (KBF) is a special form of ductile eccentrically braced frame having a
diagonal brace connected to a knee element, as a hysteretic damper, instead of beam …

This study experimentally evaluated the seismic performance of steel knee braced frame
structures with energy dissipation mechanism. A series of cyclic load tests were conducted …

This research proposes a beam-column hinged joint with additional replaceable energy-
dissipating elements, which is highly industrialized and fully fabricated. In this structure, steel …

Nowadays, modern building codes, such as the Eurocodes, require from the civil engineers
to ensure an appropriate robustness to any structure. In steel and composite structures, this …

This article appraises the seismic performance of a new braced steel structural system
called elliptic braced moment resisting frame (ELBRF). Apart from improving the behavior of …

The load transfer mechanism and load-bearing capacity of cast steel joints for H-shaped
beam to square tube column connection are studied based on the deformation compatibility …

It is commonly believed by structural engineering researchers that the slotted-web beam
connection rectifies many common weaknesses, and hence this connection is …
