Concentrically Braced Frames (CBFs) are commonly used in the construction of steel
structures because of their ease of implementation, rigidity, low lateral displacement, and …

An experimental investigation is conducted to study the seismic behaviour of eccentrically
braced composite frame (EBCF) with vertical shear links, which has a better repairability and …

Shear panel dampers (SPDs) are widely used in eccentrically braced composite frames
(EBCFs) to effectively increase their stiffness and strength and dissipate input energy …

Modern seismic codes allow for inelastic deformations in dissipative zones during design
earthquakes, accepting damage to a certain extent in the relevant structural parts. In the …

A novel system of steel Energy-Dissipative Columns (EDCs) is proposed to mitigate seismic
responses of reinforced concrete Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs). The EDC-MF dual …

This paper investigates the seismic behaviour linked column frames (LCFs). This structural
system, traditionally, consists of moment frames for the gravity loads and dual columns …

The primary objectives of this research are to investigate the energy factor response of steel
moment resisting frame (MRF) systems equipped with fuses subject to ground motions and …

An eccentrically braced composite frame with a low-yield-point (LYP) steel shear link is an
efficient energy dissipation system that exhibits good mechanical properties. However …

The present paper is devoted to the seismic design of steel frames constituted by multistep I-
shaped cross-section beam elements. The proposed design problem formulation is aimed at …

In most self-center braces, decreasing residual deformation is possible only by increasing
pretension force, which results in lower energy dissipation capacity. On the other hand …
