This paper reviews the research conducted on steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs).
Both component level and system level responses for such braced frames are treated and …

High strength steel (HSS) with the nominal yield strength fy≥ 460 MPa has been applied in
numerous modern building and bridge structures all over the world. Steel structures using …

A replaceable coupling beam is proposed comprising of steel hybrid shear links that are
shorter than typical shear links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). Cyclic loading tests …

The rapid growth of using the short links in steel buildings due to their high shear strength
and rotational capacity attracts the attention of structural engineers to investigate the …

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 …

The energy dissipation potential of a metallic damper largely depends on the hysteretic
response achieved due to the inelastic deformation of plates under either axial or flexural or …

Shear links are widely used in eccentric bracing of steel buildings and, recently, for seismic
protection of existing bridges and buildings. Experimental tests carried out for classic …

In this paper, an innovative shear-bending combined (SBC) metallic damper is proposed,
which consists of a shear panel (SP) damper as the shear component, and a series of K …

Prefabricated tension-only concentrically braced beam-through frames (BTFs) have
received popularity for low-rise steel buildings in low to moderate seismic regions. However …

Cyclic tests were performed on six full-scale single-bay two-story frames, including one
frame using Q345 (fy= 345 MPa) ordinary strength steels, and another five frames using …
