An overview of research on the development of the hybrid test method is presented. The
maturity of the hybrid test method is mapped in order to provide context to individual …

A new hybrid damper which combines a friction damper and steel strip damper is proposed
for improving the seismic performance of structures at multiple levels of ground motion. In …

This paper proposes a seismic resisting technique for reinforced concrete frame buildings
that uses a combination of a rubber core and a U-shaped friction damping system. The U …

This paper evaluates the seismic structural and non-structural performance of self-centering
and conventional structural systems combined with supplemental viscous dampers. For this …

This paper evaluates an alternative seismic design approach for steel structures that
concentrates damage in easy-to-replace steel energy dissipation devices and protects the …

The potential of post-tensioned self-centering moment-resisting frames (SC-MRFs) and
viscous dampers to reduce the collapse risk and improve the residual drift performance of …

This paper describes a seismic strengthening technique using a wall-type damping system
(DS), targeted at moment-resisting frame buildings. The DS under consideration is a hybrid …

A new self-centering steel post-tensioned connection using web hourglass shape pins
(WHPs) has been recently developed and experimentally validated. The connection isolates …

Real‐time hybrid simulation (RTHS) provides an effective and efficient experimental
technique to enable large‐or full‐scale experiments to account for rate‐dependent behavior …

Tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) are effective passive-control devices used to suppress wind-
induced vibrations and the seismic responses of high-rise structures. However …
