Structural control systems have gained popularity for the ability to reduce the structural
vibration response of civil structures subjected to different types of dynamic loads. Passive …

Structural vibration is a widespread issue occurred in the field of civil engineering. The
passive energy dissipation devices are being increasingly popular for protecting structures …

This study proposes a novel type of metallic yielding damper called block slit damper or
BSD. This damper is a slit damper with very low height to thickness ratio. This device has …

In this study, the cyclic behavior of steel ring damper (SRD) was investigated through
numerical and analytical methods. The present study was carried out to evaluate ductility …

In this paper, a new passive earthquake damper termed as Bar-Fuse Damper (BFD) is
presented for frame structures. The BFD is developed from common steel sections such as …

In this paper, the energy absorption system of a steel dual-ring damper (SDRD) is presented
and its cyclic behavior is studied analytically and numerically. The energy dissipation …

Isolators prevent the transfer of earthquake energy to the structure and reduce its relative
displacement by increasing the time period of the structure. Most isolators have low damping …

Seismic excitation can cause significant energy to be released within structures. By using
special devices, this energy can be consumed and dissipated without deforming structural …

In this study, an innovative energy dissipation system of steel dual-ring dampers (SDRDs)
system are provided and investigated using numerical method. The aim of this study are …

The Painful experiences of past earthquakes and their related financial and physical
damages have shown poor seismic performance of some structures; thus using new tools …
