As an earthquake-resistant structural element, buckling-restrained brace (BRB) not only
adds strength and stiffness but provides excellent energy absorption capability to a structure …

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

Since the intrinsic (autogenous) self-healing ability of cementitious materials is only effective
for small cracks under some particular conditions, it is often necessary to add an external …

This paper proposes a seismic resisting technique for reinforced concrete frame buildings
that uses a combination of a rubber core and a U-shaped friction damping system. The U …

The Main purpose of this paper is to present a practical method for accurate modeling and
provide a simple model of buckling restrained braces (BRBs). The components of a BRB …

There has been ongoing deliberation to arrive at promising retrofit strategies for pre-seismic
code reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Against this backdrop, the research reported in …

This experimental study investigates cyclic performance of a timber-steel hybrid structural
system consisting of glulam frames and buckling restrained braces (BRBs). The BRBs are …

Seismically retrofitting reinforced concrete (RC) building with a combination of buckling-
restrained braces (BRBs) and elastic steel frames offers a practical solution that provides …

This study focused on the performance evaluation of new brace designs that adopted steel
curved dampers with amplified-deformation mechanisms. A series of cyclic load tests on …

A material-member-structure multiscale optimization methodology, which can be utilized for
improving the elastoplastic behaviour of the beam-pile joint member in pile-supported wharf …
