Low-cycle fatigue testing of extruded aluminium alloy buckling-restrained braces
TL;DR: In this paper, the extruded aluminium alloy BRB was used to avoid the welded and relatively complex BRB end used in previous BRB research to avoid low-cycle fatigue performance.

Hourglass-shaped strip damper subjected to monotonic and cyclic loadings
TL;DR: In this article, an hourglass-shaped strip damper (HSD) was proposed to improve on the conventional slit damper, which has non-uniform strips which have a smaller cross-sectional area close to the middle height.

Elastoplastic dissipative devices for the mitigation of blast resisting cable-supported glazing façades
Claudio Amadio,Chiara Bedon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a structural cable-supported glass-steel facade subjected to high-level air blast loads is investigated, where specific dissipative devices applied at the top or at the bottom of the pretensioned cables are proposed to improve the global response of the glass steel curtain wall under the impact of a highlevel blast loading, and their structural benefits are investigated.

Use of steel bracing in reinforced concrete frames
Mahmoud R. Maheri,A. Sahebi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of steel bracing in concrete-framed structures is investigated through a series of tests conducted on a number of model frames and the results indicate a considerable increase in the in-plane strength of the frame due to steel braces.
