In this paper, the hysteresis performance of an assembled bolt-connected buckling-
restrained brace (AB-BRB) is experimentally discussed by a parametric study, and five …

This paper investigates the seismic loss performances of mid-rise steel buildings adopting
different lateral force resisting systems. The considered lateral force resisting systems …

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 …

Buckling‐restrained braces (BRBs) have proven to be very effective in improving the seismic
performance of existing and new structures. They provide strength, stiffness and add energy …

In this study, a performance-based plastic design (PBPD) method for dual system of buckling-
restrained braced reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames (RC-BRBFs) is developed …

A comprehensive study on self-centering hybrid dampers (SCHDs) for improving seismic
resilience is presented. The considered damper is composed of a pre-compressed friction …

This paper proposes a method for the seismic retrofitting of existing frames by adding
hysteretic energy dissipating devices (EDDs). The procedure is based on the energy …

A state-of-the-art review is presented on the design and research based on response
amplification dampers. In recent years, energy-dissipation vibration-reduction technology …

Response modification factor is one of the seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear
performance of building structures during strong earthquake. Relying on this, many seismic …

Aluminium alloys have recently been employed to manufacture buckling-restrained braces
(BRBs) with the aim of improving BRB durability in corrosive environments. Based on the …
