This paper reported an experimental and numerical study of a novel brace-type hybrid
damper composed of steel slit plates enhanced by the friction mechanism. A test programme …

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 …

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 …

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

The current study is consistent with the ongoing research on constructing resilient structures
by restricting damage inside replaceable components at expected locations employed in …

This paper presents a test campaign concerning the behavior of concrete-filled cold-formed
steel built-up section stub columns. The test program consisted of five types of cold-formed …

In this research, the seismic performance of a half-scaled three-storey high strength steel
frame with curved knee braces (HSSF-CKB) under extreme earthquakes was investigated …

In current composite floors, the strength of the deck connections restraining the profiled steel
decks to the floor beams or to the neighboring steel decks are much weaker compared with …

This paper investigates the inelastic seismic demands of steel frames equipped with shape
memory alloys (SMAs) subjected to mainshock-aftershock earthquake sequences. Based on …
