Various self-centering structural systems were developed and investigated for reducing
residual inter-story drifts of the traditional aseismic structural system by achieving full or …

An innovative self-centring damper equipped with shape memory alloy elements and wedge-
shaped friction plates (ie SMA-VFSD) characterised by multiple energy-dissipation …

This paper attempts to acquire fundamental knowledge on the mechanical properties of high
strength steels and the corresponding high strength weld metals at arctic low temperatures …

This paper explored the seismic behaviour of self-centring hybrid-steel-frame (SC-HSF)
employing energy dissipation sequences and the corresponding inelastic seismic demand …

The hybrid self‐centering braced frames (HSBFs) with shape memory alloy‐based braces
(SMABs) and viscous dampers (VDs) are an emerging structural system developed for …

The self-centering braced frames (SCBFs) have been widely investigated for enhancing the
building structures' post-earthquake repairability by reducing or even eliminating the …

In this study, the hysteretic behaviour of shape memory alloy (SMA) plates under cyclic
tension-release loadings was examined to promote their seismic applications, with an …

A hybrid self-centering braced frame equipped with shape memory alloy-based self-
centering braces (SMA-SCBs) and viscous dampers is proposed to achieve enhanced …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) tube-concrete-encased steel (FTCES) composite column
shows superior load-bearing capacity, stiffness, deformation capacity and it has excellent …

In this research study, a novel double C-section steel slit damper (DCSSD) was proposed.
Six cyclic loading tests of DCSSD specimens were carried out to study the effects of strip …
