Abstract: Beam-column (BC) joints play an important role in the seismic performance of moment-resisting RC frame structures. Several techniques have been suggested to improve the seismic efficiency of BC joints, but these techniques ...

Abstract: Semiactive vibration control devices have grown in popularity due to their ability to regulate devices while consuming little power. Magnetorheological (MR) fluids with regulated rheological properties are used in large-scale ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) dampers have the ability to mitigate natural hazards for structures due to their high energy dissipation features with low power demand. This feature has made the MR damper one of the most popular ...
