The utilization of passive energy dissipation systems has been created a revolution in the structural engineering industry due to their advantages. Fluid Viscous Damper (FVD) is one of these control systems. It has been used in many different industries, such as the army, aerospace, bridge, and building structures. One of the essential questions about this system is how it can combine with the ...

One of the most crucial components of a tall building is its lateral loading system. In this paper, we provide the development of a lateral bracing system that results in bracing material savings of up to 50% relative to a traditional X-Bracing system, as well as lighter corner columns due to the more efficient load paths of the lateral forces to the base. The solution naturally follows a linea...

This research suggests a novel method to use steel cables as a structural bracing system. The Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) works in tandem with the cable bracings when this method is used. The suggested bracing model can address the fundamental problem of current cable bracing methods, namely the lack of flexibility while keeping costs to a minimum. This approach requires no additional equipmen...

BACKGROUND The aim of our study is to evaluate the ability of a pre- fabricated humeral bracing system in providing sufficient stability to fracture union and carry out a cost analysis comparing bracing versus surgical fixation for these fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A review of humeral shaft fractures treated with a pre-fabricated humeral bracing system was undertaken. RESULTS 20 humeral...

Selection of wind force resisting system is an important decision in the design tall buildings, especially for those located hurricane prone regions. Rigid frames, shear walls, braced framed tube, bundled tube and hybrid are common structural forms used to resist lateral forces produced due wind. Cables have a great potential be as element. Cable stayed hanging bridges guyed towers applications...

Passively damped bracing systems in steel frames, in which the conventional materials of the joint are replaced by high damping viscoelastic materials, have the potential of being effective practical means for passive vibration control of dynamically loaded civil engineering structures. However, this potential can be realized only if the associated structural penalties are reduced within accept...

Abstract The ways of designing and building steel girder bridges with a composite concrete deck vary much between different parts the world. A bridge system twin I‐girders or concept multiple (more than two) girders can be used. design use details secondary systems also lot. In order to give horizontal stabilization distribute loads, bracing bracings are often Although not so common, used verti...
