Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) have been implemented in buildings and bridges on account of their stable and desirable hysteretic characteristics, ease of design and a [...]

Research was conducted to assess collapse potential of steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) having infill plates designed to resist different percentages of the applied latera [...]

Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations fo [...]

Multi-story steel plate shear walls (SPSW) are progressively being used as the primary lateral force resisting system in buildings. However, insufficient information exis [...]

The issue of protecting infrastructure against multiple extreme events is gaining interest in civil engineering. The authors previously presented the development and expe [...]

Resilience is defined as the ability of engineering and socio-economic systems to rebound after severe disturbances, or disasters, such as earthquakes. This paper present [...]

Consistent with capacity design principles, the 2005 AISC Seismic Provisions require that the vertical and horizontal boundary elements of steel plate shear walls be desi [...]

This paper highlights aspects of the development of self-stabilizing links having tubular cross-sections for use in eccentrically braced frames (EBF’s). EBF’s utilizi [...]
