Earthquake-resistant design of structures requires dissipating seismic energy by
deformations of structural members or additional fuse elements. Owing to its easy-to …

This study aimed to measure dynamic responses of structural systems using smartphone
videos and vision-based sensing processes. Two algorithms, based on template matching …

In this paper, a new steel plate shear wall with a reduced web section beam is proposed.
The proposed model, including a middle link beam with elongated circle opening, offers …

The emerging trend in earthquake-resistant structural design is to dissipate some part of the
seismic input energy through energy-dissipating devices (EDDs). A prominent candidate to …

Y. Wen, L. Chen & S. Nagarajaiah to different modes can largely improve the multimode
damping effects. The optimal parameters of the GDOs are slightly different from those in the …

The seismic safety of electrical substations is significantly important for the resiliency of
regions prone to earthquakes since they are one of the main components of the power grids …

The seismic energy-based design concept is attracting increasing attention due to its known
advantages such as counting for frequency content of earthquake and duration-related …

Nonlinear analysis, whether static or dynamic, demands comprehensive understanding of
the nonlinear behavior of each structural component. In the absence of sufficient …

The structures in the seismic regions are designed to dissipate energy through inelastic
behavior under strong ground motions based on the conventional seismic design practice …

Current practice in structural engineering requires dissipating some part of seismic energy
by sacrificial elements rather than structural members and/or joints. As an easy-to-produce …
