Buckling restrained braces are metallic dissipators made up of a core of ductile steel, designed to resist similar tensile and compressive forces, by confining the core a [...]

The brittle failures detected during the 1994 Northridge earthquake on steel moment-frame buildings prompted significant investigations on steel moment connections. This [...]

Steel braced frames include braces to provide lateral resistance and stiffness. Conventional steel braces may buckle in compression and break after a few cycles when subj [...]

Due to the extensive use of the synthetic-fiber ropes in mooring applications, the development of computer simulation capabilities to model the behavior of these elements [...]
