Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The prestressed lead damper (PS‐LED) is a novel hysteretic damper that leverages the friction developed between a straight steel shaft and a lead core to dissipate seismic energy. A key feature of the device is the possibility to adjust its axial force by changing the prestress applied to the lead core, enabling customization to meet specific design ...

Second‐Order Effects on EBF Yielding Links: New Design Equations for Overstrength and Capacity
ce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1180-1185, December 2025.Abstract Previous studies have shown that links in eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) can be subjected to axial loads. Both shear and flexural links exhibit increased shear strength under tension and a reduction in shear capacity under compression.

Discover Civil EngineeringThis study presents a numerical comparison of replaceable shear link beams made of two grades of stainless-steel duplex S2205 and austenitic S31608, to that of conventional cast steel (G20Mn5QT) under cyclic seismic loading. 3D finite element models were

Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 6, Page 9143-9163, December 2025.Abstract Rubberized concrete (RuC), which incorporates recycled tire rubber aggregates in the matrix, offers a viable solution for managing waste tire disposal. Although adding rubber aggregates reduces the compressive strength of concrete, research suggests that in specific applications, such as flexure‐controlled members, this adverse effect can be ...

Nietzsche's Conception of Skepticism as Intellectual Virtue and Vice
European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 1466-1485, December 2025.Abstract Recent approaches are unable to make full sense of Nietzsche's distinction between weak and strong skepticism (BGE 208–209; A54). In this paper, I propose an alternative interpretation. My suggestion is that this distinction is best understood in the context of his virtue epistemology.

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 3669-3694, December 2025.A city’s capacity to withstand and recover from seismic events plays a crucial role in safeguarding the well‐being of its residents. While numerous studies have investigated the recovery cost and time of buildings following earthquakes, the effects of soil and foundation have often been overlooked despite their known influence on seismic performance ...

Evaluation of Link Overstrength Factor for the Seismic Design of Eccentrically Braced Frames
Applied SciencesIn eccentrically braced frames (EBFs), inelastic behavior is only permitted in the links. All members, except for the links, are designed according to the capacity design concept by using the link overstrength factor, Ω, so that they remain elastic even ...

Overstrength for enhancing the robustness of structures [PDF]
, 2017 In the present paper, a methodology able to increase the robustness of a frame struc- ture is proposed. This methodology focuses on the structural behaviour of the key elements, which are endowed with a certain overstrength that can be employed to ...
