In recent years, high-rise construction has been rising. A big challenge for engineers and executives in the construction of these structures is the stability of the structures against earthquakes. And this requires the development of appropriate arrangements for structures under lateral system and are braced system. And this requires the development of appropriate arrangements for structures ...

Statistics of human losses and financial casualties induced progressive collapse, as one the new modern concepts in field civil engineering, have doubled importance having knowledge about this phenomenon strategies to reduce its effect. Progressive collapse starts with a local failure loss load-carrying capacity small portion structure spreads throughout from element element. These consecutive ...

Ground cylindrical steel fluid storage tanks are widely used in different industries. Regarding the significance of these structures, it is important to establish their proper performance in earthquakes by evaluating their seismic performance. The present study examines the seismic behavior of an unanchored fluid storage system via ABAQUS after validation using an experimental model. Next, the ...

The Lyon Bracing Management evolved since 1947 as cooperation between Pierre Stagnara MD and Bouillat & Terrier CPO. The Lyon management results of a reduction with a plaster cast from one to four months, before moulding the brace. It is a below arm adjustable brace without any superstructure. Very early braces were made from a combination of steel and leather. After the second world war, Pierr...

This study focuses on the modeling of manufactured damper when used in steel buildings. The main aim dampers is to protect buildings from damaging effects that may result due earthquakes by introducing an extra damping addition traditional damping.Only Pure Manufactured Dampers, has been considered this study. Viscous generally preferred structural engineering as it leads a linear model then du...

The utilization of orthotic devices for lumbar degenerative disease has been justified from both a prognostic and therapeutic perspective. As a prognostic tool, bracing is applied prior to surgery to determine if immobilization of the spine leads to symptomatic relief and thus justify the performance of a fusion. Since bracing does not eliminate motion, the validity of this assumption is questi...

This paper presents the results of an analytical investigation conducted to replicate experimentally obtained behavior, and better understand the behavior of the proposed structural fuse concept for bridges that is presented in a companion paper. First, a steel plate shear link (SPSL) proposed as a new type of structural fuse is described. Equations are derived to define its shear-moment intera...
