Bidirectional Loading Response of Square-HSS Columns and Panel Zones Measured in Shake-Table Tests of a 10-Story Steel Building
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)A series of shake-table tests on a nearly full-scale, 10-story steel moment-resisting frame with buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) was conducted at the E-Defense shake-table facility in Japan in February 2023. The specimen ... -
Double-Stage Friction-Based Self-Centering Dampers: Proof-of-Concept Tests and Seismic Control Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Due to the relatively low damping and sharp stiffness change, friction-based self-centering dampers are less effective in controlling peak interstory drift (PID) and peak floor acceleration (PFA). To address these concerns, ... -
