A new type of connection has been developed for steel-braced frame systems that allows the brace members to undergo compression buckling in in-plane direction. In addition inherent benefits (IPB) braces help reducing extent damage non-structural components, IPB system is also considered be an efficient way retrofitting existing seismically deficient structures. The use compact and thicker gusse...

Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) which are generally composed of a steel core and encasing(buckling restrainers) utilized to resist lateral forces in high seismic regions since BRBs exhibit energy dissipation capacity, ductility stiffness. The carries both compressive tensile forces. During the compression, starts buckling encasing tries prevent this buckling. However, due unbonding layer/gap ...

In order to investigate the structural performance of CLT-S hybrid structure with several types connections improve hysteresis behavior, experiments frame were conducted. new connections, reduced section parts inserted steel plate restrained for buckling provide improved behavior against cyclic axial forces due bending moment in CLT panels. From experiment result, it was found that hysteretic p...

experimental tests were performed to study the seismic behavior and performance ofmodified steel chevron braced frame systems, which incorporate a vertical slotted connection(vsc) detail between the top of the braces and the floor beam above. the vsc detail isintended to prevent vertical load transfer to the beam and limit brace forces to thecompressive resistance of the members. full-scale qua...

Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for repairs. An alternative design approach is to concentrate damage on disposable and easy to repair structural elements (i.e., “structural fuses”), while the main structure is des...

In the present paper, the buckling problem of rectangular functionally graded (FG) plate with arbitrary edge supports is investigated. The present analysis is based on the classical plate theory (CPT) and large deformation is assumed for deriving stability equations. The plate is subjected to bi-axial compression loading. Mechanical properties of FG plate are assumed to vary continuously along ...
