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 …

Corrugated steel plate shear wall (CSPSW) as an innovative lateral load resisting system
provides various advantages in comparison with the flat steel plate shear wall, including …

In this paper, a new type of low-yield-point steel BLY160 is applied in the metallic shear
panel damper device. To intensively investigate the seismic behaviour of the dampers …

Steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) are lateral load resisting systems with a significant energy
dissipation potential under cyclic loading. This research performed experimental and …

The present paper investigates the behavior of iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs)
subjected to cyclic inelastic straining by means of uniaxial coupon experiments. The tests …

Plate steel shear links offer enhanced design freedom, including the ability to use steel
grades that are not available in rolled shapes. This paper discusses the cyclic response of …

Structural systems that are available in building codes are calibrated for good performance
at severe performance objectives (like life safety) under high earthquake hazard levels …

Over the course of the past 150 years, since the first iron-and steel-based bridge was
constructed in 1868, Japan has become one of the most advanced countries in the …

Employment of low-yield stress steel plates in shear wall systems has been demonstrated in
a number of studies to be a promising alternative for improving the buckling stability, energy …

As new advanced high performance structural steels, low yield point (LYP) steels have been
widely accepted and used in the technology of energy dissipation for seismic design. This …
