The instability of structural members under axial compression most likely causes spatial
structural collapse. Therefore, the configuration of double-layer members (DLMs) is …

It has been shown that having a low post-elastic (secondary) stiffness for conventional
structures can be beneficial in terms of putting a limit on base shear of the structure although …

A post-tensioned precast concrete beam-column joint (PPED-PPS) with energy dissipaters
and partially precast slabs was investigated in this paper; this joint was mainly composed of …

A new precast concrete column system was proposed in this paper to reduce the demands
of threaded couplers on the manufacturing errors of precast members and to satisfy the …

This study proposes an efficient risk‐targeted framework for integrated optimal seismic
design and quantifying target safety of Special Moment‐Resisting Frames (SMRFs) with …

Abstract Although Concentrically Braced Frame (CBF) is a system with high lateral stiffness,
buckling under compressive forces has made it a system with weakness in ductility and not …

Although concentrically braced frames (CBFs) possess high lateral stiffness and strength,
the buckling of compressive members indicates that a system does not have appropriate …

Buckling-restrained brace (BRB) is a widely used energy dissipator by the yielding of core
steel plate. Single-core BRB (SBRB) only has one yielding point and a single failure pattern …

Among the existing passive energy dampers, I-shaped shear dampers had shown suitable
performance in experimental and numerical studies. Although they improve the dissipating …

A novel energy dissipation system named multi-toggle brace damper (MTBD) system is
proposed in this paper. A theoretical mechanism for analysing the magnification factor of the …
