Background: Different bracing systems of steel Eccentric Braces (EBs) and steel-concrete Buckling-Restrained (BRBs) can be used in frames order to make the stronger resisting lateral loads. These with EBs or BRBs are generally called Eccentrically Braced Frames (EBFs) (BRBFs), respectively. Objective: This study aims investigate having moment link. Methods: The EBFs BRBFs nonlinearly analysed e...

BACKGROUND Shoulder external rotation braces used for patients with a first-time shoulder dislocation are designed with a variety of arm positions in abduction as well as external rotation. However, few studies have focused on their immobilizing performance, comfort, or user-friendliness. Especially, there have been no robust data of shoulder abduction-external rotation (A-ER) braces in compari...

Background: The seismic retrofitting of frame structures using hysteretic dampers is a very effective strategy to mitigate earthquake-induced risks. However, its application in current practice rather limited since simple and efficient design methods are still lacking, the more accurate time-history analysis time-consuming computationally demanding. Aims: This paper develops applies retrofit me...

One of the common methods used as an alternative to shear walls in retrofit reinforced concrete (RC) structures is steel braces. The use braces preferred because its rapid application well increase stiffness and strength. By using different types frames, displacements can be reduced properties such structural performance, capacity, ductility, strength increased. If behavior characteristics hybr...

Braces were introduced by Rump to study non-degenerate involutive set-theoretic solutions of the Yang–Baxter equation. To study non-involutive solutions one needs skew braces, a non-commutative analog of braces. In this talk we discuss basic properties of skew braces and how these structures are related to the Yang-Baxter equation. We also discuss interesting connections between skew braces and...

Abstract—This paper focuses on parametric analysis of reinforced concrete structures equipped with supplemental damping braces. Practitioners still luck sufficient data for current design of damper added structures and often reduce the real model to a pure damper braced structure even if this assumption is neither realistic nor conservative. In the present study, the damping brace is modelled a...
