Abstract The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) highlights
the importance of scientific research, supporting the 'availability and application of science …

Gusset plates are key connection components in steel truss and braced frame structures. To
provide a comprehensive insight into the behaviour and design of these components, this …

As a high-performance hysteretic damper, buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) can
significantly improve the seismic behavior of engineering structures and protect the main …

This paper assesses the seismic performance of typical reinforced concrete (RC) existing
framed structures designed for gravity loads only. The sample two-storey structural system …

The buckling-restrained braces (BRB) or energy dissipated connectors (EDC) can obviously
improve the seismic performance of engineering structures, while their behavior was often …

Conventional concentrically braced frames (CBFs) undergo many cycles of inelastic
deformation during seismic excitation. This inelastic deformation leads to the possibility that …

Building in seismically active regions subjected to lateral forces requires adequate strength
and stiffness to resist such forces. Numerous studies have shown that braces perform better …

This research focuses on a new type of buckling-restrained brace (BRB) with replaceable
steel angle fuses. The proposed BRB offers ease of postearthquake examination of fuse …

Since the 1960 s, a cornerstone of earthquake engineering has been estimating the non-
linear response of structures based just on lateral strength, modal properties, and the …

Buckling-Restrained Braced Frames (BRBFs) are one of the newer types of seismic force-
resisting systems used in modern building designs. As the two example configurations …
