This study investigates a novel concept of integrating multi-functional shear thickening fluids
(M− STFs) into the core layer of a sandwich composite consisting of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) …

In order to realize the self-centering, high energy consumption, and high ductility of the
existing building structure through strengthening and retrofit of structure, a method of …

Civil infrastructures are vulnerable to catastrophic failures when exceeding the limit loading,
requiring a reliable structural control mechanism, such as bracing systems, to enhance the …

Shape memory alloy (SMA), a type of smart material, is widely used in the design of
reinforcement and repair, isolation, and shock absorption of building structures because of …

Conventional fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) have a relatively linear stress–strain
behavior up to the failure point. Therefore, they show brittle behavior until the failure point …

This review article presents a detailed investigation into the seismic behavior of structures
employing supplementary dampers or additional damping mechanisms over the past …

This study proposes an adaptive 3-stage hybrid teaching-based differential evolution
(ATDE) algorithm to deal with sizing and layout frequency-constrained truss designs more …

Structures are generally designed to withstand the applied loads safely. However, in order to
secure the stability of structures from earthquakes, which are unpredictable natural …

The purpose of this research is to propose a two-objective optimum design technique of self-
centering buckling restrained brace (SC-BRB) characteristics based on a multi-objective …

In order to improve the deformation energy consumption and self-centering ability of
reinforced concrete (RC) frame beam-column joints for main buildings of conventional …
