Self-centering buckling-restrained braces (SC-BRBs) consisting of BRBs as the primary load-
resisting elements and shape-memory alloy (SMA) bars as the supplemental re-centering …

This paper proposes a novel seismic resilient knee braced frame (KBF) and focuses on
seismic performance evaluation and design. In this novel system, the shape memory alloy …

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 …

The present study is focused on the development and testing of a novel buckling-restrained
brace (BRB) system. The Fe-based shape memory alloy (FSMA) plate is used as the …

In recent decades, researchers have evaluated the seismic performance of the innovative
Elliptic-Braced Resisting Frames (ELBRFs) only in single-story single-span configurations …

Eccentrically braced frames are renowned for their capacity to absorb seismic forces while
offering greater adaptability. These frames incorporate bracings that are joined to the beams …

Curved damper truss moment frame (CDTMF) system is a novel seismic force-resisting
structural system which utilizes the curved dampers integrated into a semi-rigid moment …

Abstract The Performance-Based Plastic Design method (PBPD), developed on the energy
concept, has been frequently used in technical literature as a performance-based design …

The use of yield steel dampers in structures improves seismic resilience by efficiently
absorbing energy, reducing the impact of seismic forces, and enhancing overall safety and …
