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 …

This paper presents the development and application of multi-axis pseudo-dynamic hybrid
simulation for evaluating the seismic stability of steel braced frame structures. The advanced …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are high-performance metallic materials that can experience
large strain and still recover their initial shape through either temperature-induced effect …

A novel steel-box bridge-pier column with embedded replaceable energy-dissipating shell
plates is proposed herein. The seismic performance of this new steel bridge column was …

During the past decades, amounts of research efforts have been concentrated to investigate
basic characteristics of the seismic response of steel bridge piers by cyclic bi-directional …

In this paper, the overall hysteretic behavior of uniform (BB) and proposed graded-thickness
(BGB) thin-walled steel square box columns under constant axial force and circular …

In this article, the seismic performance of box-shaped steel piers embedded with energy-
dissipating shells under a multi-directional seismic load is investigated. A finite element (FE) …

Thin-walled steel tubular circular columns are becoming an increasingly attractive choice as
cantilever bridge piers due to their architectural, structural and constructional advantages …

This study comprehensively evaluates the lateral performance and behaviour of stiffened
steel hollow box piers under axial and lateral cyclic bidirectional loading using Finite …

In this study, the multiple-spring (MS) model with the curve-approximated hysteresis rule is
proposed for the nonlinear seismic response simulation of bidirectionally loaded hollow …
