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 …

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 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 …

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 …

This paper is an attempt to investigate the structural behavior of concrete-filled cold-formed
steel stub columns with semi-oval cross sections via experimental and numerical studies …

Seismic evaluation of industrial facilities may need to employ multi-performance indicators in
various yielding stages towards a more delicate design methodology. This paper develops a …
