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 …

Auxetic materials could exhibit desirable mechanical properties, eg, fracture resistance,
shear resistance and energy dissipation due to their unique deformation characteristics …

This study proposed novel designs for achieving self-centering (SC) behavior using
superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) buckling-restrained plates (BRPs). Compared with …

In this paper, the hysteresis performance of an assembled bolt-connected buckling-
restrained brace (AB-BRB) is experimentally discussed by a parametric study, and five …

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

Following the Northridge earthquake in 1995, buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs)
were used as effective substitutes for concentrically braced frames (CBFs). However, despite …

Energy dissipaters constructed in precast structures play an important fuse-type role in
concentrating damage and protecting the primary structure. The stable hysteretic behavior …

A new double-stage coupling damper (DSCD), consisting of a friction component (FC) and a
buckling restrained component (BRC) in series, is proposed for improving the seismic …

Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) have been widely adopted in engineering structures for
seismic protection owing to their satisfactory energy-dissipating performance at favorable …

This paper presents the results of 12 full‐scale tests on buckling‐restrained brace (BRB)
specimens. A simple‐to‐fabricate all‐steel encasing joined by high‐strength bolts was used …
