As an earthquake-resistant structural element, buckling-restrained brace (BRB) not only
adds strength and stiffness but provides excellent energy absorption capability to a structure …

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 …

The permanent deformation of the building after seismic excitations can be determined by
the Maximum Residual Interstory Drift Ratio (MR-IDR), which may be used for measuring the …

As a new member of the shape memory alloy (SMA) material family, iron-based SMAs (Fe-
SMAs) show great potential in seismic applications due to their favorable properties. The …

Nowadays, to improve the performance of conventional bracing systems, in which, buckling
in the pressure loads is the main disadvantage, the buckling-restrained brace (BRB) is …

This research is focused on the development and experimental validation of a novel double-
stage yield steel slit damper-buckling restrained brace (SSD-DYB) system designed for …

A new double-stage coupling damper (DSCD), consisting of a friction component (FC) and a
buckling restrained component (BRC) in series, is proposed for improving the seismic …

Aiming at improving the performance and practicability of metallic dampers, this paper
proposes a novel shear-bending metallic damper with a double-phased yield mechanism …

While buckling-restrained braces offer excellent energy dissipation characteristics, their low
post-yield stiffness may result in large residual drifts and interstory drift concentration when …

For concentrically braced frames (CBFs) with conventional braces, although they can
prevent collapse during earthquakes, people have to confront the costly repair work and …
