Abstract: This work presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the lateral forces exerted by the inner core of a buckling-restrained brace (BRB) when, after buckling in compression, it arrives into contact with the external ...

Abstract: Part I of this work was concerned with the experimental and numerical analysis of the lateral force, or thrust, exerted by the inner core of a buckling-restrained brace (BRB) when, after buckling in compression, it arrives ...

Abstract: The stiffening and strengthening of wood floors with a thin collaborating concrete slab is a recent technique which appears particularly suitable for restoration work on ancient buildings. This research deals with the ...
