TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of the cyclic performance of extended end-plate connections connected using SMA bolts instead of normal high strength bolts in the connections was presented, where the SMA connection specimens were shown to have excellent recentring abilities and moderate energy dissipation capability with an equivalent viscous damping up to 17.5%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described the critical success factors (CSFs) identified from a survey study carried out in Mainland China and identified 35 factors as critical for determining the competitiveness of a contractor.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper determined the relationship between safety climate and safety performance of repair, maintenance, minor alteration, and addition (RMAA) works, thereby offering recommendations on improving RMAA safety.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study on SMA bars subject to cyclic direct-shear actions, and uniaxial tensile tests were also undertaken on the bars of similar sizes for comparison.

TL;DR: In this paper, a questionnaire survey was conducted in the repair, maintenance, minor alteration, and addition (RMAA) sector in Hong Kong and three safety climate factors of the RMAA works were identified: (1) management commitment to occupational health and safety (OHS) and em...
