Abstract: A replaceable coupling beam is proposed comprising of steel hybrid shear links that are shorter than typical shear links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs). Cyclic loading tests were conducted to examine the behavior ...

Abstract: Time-dependent deformation of crushable soils attributable to particle breakage could dominate the postconstruction stability of high rockfill dams and pile foundations. The evolutionary trends of the volumetric strain, ...
