Abstract: The installation of dampers close to cable anchorages is a common approach for stay-cable vibration mitigation. Inspired by the force-deformation relationship produced by actively controlled dampers, passive negative-stiffness ...

Abstract: Stay cables are vulnerable to excessive vibration because of their inherently low damping properties. Described in this paper is an experimental investigation of the vibration control performance due to passive negative ...

Abstract: The incorporation of steel fiber exhibits great benefits to reduce cracking risk and autogenous shrinkage (AS) of high-strength concrete (HSC). 5D hooked-end steel fiber (5DSF) is a kind of novel hooked-end steel fiber. ...
