Existing literature suggests that substituting mineral aggregates with tire-derived aggregate (TDA) in concrete increases the ductility and toughness of at cost lowering its strength stiffness. Hence, TDA has applications dynamic systems, such as lateral resisting frames sustaining seismic loads. This study investigated application buckling-restrained braced (BRBFs). Buckling-restrained brace (...

the objective of this review to be submitted in two independent parts, for steel frames and for rc frames, is to compare their structural performance with respect to the proposed n2-method, and so also of the consequent convenience of using pushover methodology for the seismic analysis of these structures. a preliminary investigation is presented on a pushover analysis used for the seismic perf...

This paper proposes a new type of variable-cross-section replaceable link that can isolate the plastic deformation. The and frame beam connect with expanding section by bolt along flange web separately. It is easy to design an elastic bolt, reduce slippage, facilitate replacement after earthquake. Considering large deformation range high-strength steel superior link, eccentrically braced variab...
