This study proposed novel designs for achieving self-centering (SC) behavior using
superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) buckling-restrained plates (BRPs). Compared with …

Shear links (SLs) are effective energy dissipation devices for seismic damage mitigation and
resilience improvement of bridges or bridge bents. This study is to assess the influences of …

The bond properties and the excellent performance of the applied protecting overlay in
segmental bridge deck panels are essential to ensure the overall quality of the bridge …

As traditional components used for energy dissipation, buckling-restrained braces (BRBs)
are highly effective in mitigating seismic damage to twin-column tall bents, thereby …

The seismic resilience-based design of infrastructures is a current hot research topic, and
such design is an extension of the performance-based design philosophy. The seismic …

Structures such as long-span footbridges, floors, and long cantilevers are vulnerable to
vibration serviceability problems under crowd walking, which should be taken into …

This study proposes a beam-through moment-resisting joint for H-section (wide-flange)
beams and columns that can be prefabricated and easily assembled onsite for low-rise and …

Aiming to reduce residual deformation, herein, we propose the design concept of a self-
centering buckling-restrained brace (SC-BRB) applied to the structural fuse of arch bridge …

This paper derives the theoretical equations to calculate the stiffness, strength, and yield
displacement of the tall RC two-column piers with and without BRBs. A structural fuses …

In this paper, the seismic response of a steel truss arch bridge subjected to near-fault ground
motions is studied. Then, the idea of applying buckling restrained braces (BRBs) to a steel …
