In this study, the performance of triangular added damping and stiffness (TADAS) dampers
combined with curved dampers (Curved-TADAS damper) is evaluated in moment resisting …

This paper develops both a three-parameter power model and a Ramberg-Osgood model
for quantifying the moment—rotation characteristics of a blind-bolted flush end-plate system …

This study experimentally evaluates the seismic performance of knee braced moment
resisting frame (KBRF) systems. A series of cyclic load tests were performed on the special …

This paper presents details of numerical investigations on exterior beam-column joint sub-
assemblages with a novel fuse link beam-to-column connection. The connection is designed …

This study experimentally evaluated the seismic performance of steel knee braced frame
structures with energy dissipation mechanism. A series of cyclic load tests were conducted …

Based on the application of a beam-column joint with replaceable energy-dissipating
elements and hinged beam-column proposed by the author, the seismic performance of a …

In the traditional design of structures, the actual performance of beam-tocolumn connections
is idealized and categorized into two groups: Fully Rigid “FR” connections and flexible …

This research proposes a beam-column hinged joint with additional replaceable energy-
dissipating elements, which is highly industrialized and fully fabricated. In this structure, steel …

The nonlinear stiffness matrix method was incorporated to investigate the structural
performance of steel portal frames with semirigid connections. A portal frame with …

This article appraises the seismic performance of a new braced steel structural system
called elliptic braced moment resisting frame (ELBRF). Apart from improving the behavior of …
