A naturally buckling brace (NBB) is a steel brace that consists of a high-strength and low-yielding steel channel arranged in parallel with eccentricity acting along the brace length. To enhance the feasibility of NBB fabrication, three connecting design d ...
The present paper proposes an improved design of conventional buckling braces (CBBs) by introducing intentional eccentricity along the brace length. The proposed brace is named the Brace with Intentional Eccentricity (BIE). Due to the inherent action momen ...

Extreme loading scenarios such as earthquakes, exceptional wind gusts or tides are characterized by very high amplitude and multidirectional cyclic loads applied to a structure. Ultra Low Cycle Fatigue (ULCF) arises in such cases and can be summarily defin ...
H-SA700 is a type of new ultra-high-strength structural steel that is more environmentally friendly and more suitable for mass production than conventional high-strength steel. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the practical application of CF ...

This article introduces an analytical model to compute the monotonic force–displacement response of in-plane loaded unreinforced brick masonry walls accounting for walls failing in shear or flexure. The masonry wall is modelled as elastic in compression wit ...
Concrete-filled steel tube (CFT) columns offer significant advantages over columns made of either steel or concrete alone, such as large energy dissipation and increased strength and stiffness. To further improve the seismic performance of these columns, a ...
Nowadays, strengthening of existing steel structures using advanced carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is becoming a common technique due to the unique advantages of the material such as light weight, high strength and fatigue endurance, as ...
The seismic in-plane response of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm structures has not been the subject of extensive study. The information available specific to diaphragm design in the North American CFS design standard is based on limited experimen ...

The present paper proposes an improved design of conventional steel braces (CBBs). CBBs are characterized by intense mid-length local buckling that leads to early fracture, limited post-yielding stiffness, and provide very large strength and stiffness. In ...
The performance of 11 different shear reinforcement systems against punching of inner slab-column connections under gravity loading was compared on the basis of experiments on 12 full-scale specimens, 8 of them newly reported. The slab geometry and flexura ...
