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 …

To enhance the repairability of lateral force resisting systems after earthquakes, a novel
precast rocking wall with multiple steel energy dissipaters (PRW-MED) was devised, and a …

This paper proposes and validates a type of external replaceable hysteretic dampers to be
mainly applied to unbonded post-tensioned (UPT) precast walls. The main aim of the …

To reduce the structural damage in mainshocks–aftershocks and improve the repair speed
after a mainshock, two types of controllable shape memory alloy (SMA) dampers (CSDs) …

Adding energy dissipaters to prestressed wood joints with reinforced beam-column
interfaces is the main way to improve their seismic performance. In this paper, three …

The buckling restrained energy dissipater is one small axial yield type energy dissipation
device usually attached to the prefabricated structure to improve seismic performance. In this …

Miniature structural fuses made from round steel bars, have been increasingly investigated
and applied because they can be easily replaced and have a low cost. In this paper, a …

Buckling-restrained energy dissipaters are miniature energy dissipaters that constrain an
inner core through an outer tube and have been widely utilized to improve the seismic …

Abstract Partially-restrained Energy Dissipater (PED) is a metal hysteresis dissipative device
and exhibits an excellent low-cycle fatigue performance. Each PED typically consists of an …

This paper presents an innovative application of buckling-restrained knee braces (BRKBs)
for spreading plasticity at the beam ends of rigid moment connections. A slender knee brace …
