Knee braces (KBs) are often installed at locations near to the beam-to-column connections
in frames. In comparison to concentrical and eccentrical braces, KBs have advantages of …

This study proposes a novel buckling-restrained brace (BRB) using multiple round steel core
bars to increase the feasible strength of BRBs utilizing steel bars with roll-threaded screw …

A novel fabricated steel structure exterior beam-to-column connection with knee braces is
presented in this study, to improve the seismic performance and internal force distribution of …

Based on the ideas of damage control and element replaceability, this paper proposes an
earthquake-resilient, beam-to-column joint with a double-core buckling-restrained connector …

Buckling-restrained rods (BRRs) can serve as the structure fuse to mitigate seismic damage.
To enhance the bearing capacity of BRRs and facilitate installation, a multi-core buckling …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are some of the new materials that have attracted the attention
of many engineers due to their unique behavior. The most important advantage of these …

In this study, a buckling-restrained knee-braced (BRKB) steel frame structural system is
proposed, with a focus on the analysis of its joint components. Quasi-static tests were …

Prefabricated converter station building has been gradually applied in the field of power
engineering construction due to the advantages of standardized design, high construction …

This study aimed to investigate a novel slender buckling-restrained knee brace damper
(BRKB) for welded and weld-free steel framing systems. The proposed BRKB adopts steel …

To address the issue of coupling vibration in the eight-bar stamping mechanism, a vibration
control approach utilising the coupled backstepping method is introduced. We establish a …
