ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

ABSTRACT In February 2023, a comprehensive series of shaking table tests were conducted at the E‐Defense facility, the world's largest three‐dimensional earthquake simulator, on a full‐scale 10‐story steel moment‐resisting frame supplemented with BRBs.

This study investigates the performance of a tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) in enhancing the seismic performance of structures by focusing on the concept of effective damping ratio (EDR) and its enhancement through the effective damping ratio enhancement (EDRE) approach. An analytical model is developed for a single‐degree‐of‐freedom system subjected

Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Human‐Induced Vibration of Long‐Span Multi‐Layer Composite Beams—Analytical Calculation Method
ABSTRACT The finite element method (FEM) provides a general framework for analyzing virtually all types of structures under various loading conditions. Nevertheless, in certain situations, designers may identify that the structural system exhibits predominantly beam‐like behavior, allowing the use of analytical theories.

I‐shaped beams installed in a braced structure are subjected to reversed axial forces during earthquakes. Previously, we have derived the evaluation index and formulae for beams that collapsed with dominant local buckling.

Application of the Rayleigh quotient method in the analysis of stability of straight elastic bars [PDF]
The paper deals with stability problems of straight elastic bars made of a homogenous isotropic material. The approach concerns both the bars of compact cross-sections and of thin-walled cross-sections, the transverse distortions being neglected.
