In Chile, several buildings have been provided with tuned mass dampers. They consist of pendulums located on the upper floor having a natural period similar to the buildi [...]

This paper presents the results of a study on Cu-based shape memory alloys (SMA) elements for energy dissipation in connections under earthquake excitation. The elements [...]

This article presents a theoretical study aimed at improving effectiveness of the isolation system of a building by adding magneto-rheological (MR) dampers that act in pa [...]

T-stub moment connections are an alternative to welded steel beam-to-column moment connections. Significant research has been conducted on the behavior of the connection [...]
