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.

The effect of reinforcement strength on the overstrength factor for reinforced concrete beams
, 2011 The design of earthquake resistant structures in New Zealand is based around the philosophy known as capacity design. In order for this philosophy to be successfully applied, it is essential that the flexural overstrength factor is appropriately defined.

Estimation of the overstrength factor and analysis of displacement-damage relationship of JUBHome walls [PDF]
, 2016 The first part of the thesis describes cyclic tests of reinforced concrete walls JUBHome WALL. The tests were performed at the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute and at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2008 AbstractDesign recommendations for steel plate shear wall (SPSW) systems have recently been introduced into seismic provisions for steel buildings. Response modification (R), overstrength (Ωo), and displacement amplification (Cd) factors for SPSW systems presented in design codes were based on professional experience and judgment. A numerical study has

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 ...
