Life‐cycle benefits estimation for hybrid seismic‐resistant self‐centering braced frames

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2023
The hybrid self‐centering braced frames (HSBFs) with shape memory alloy‐based braces (SMABs) and viscous dampers (VDs) are an emerging structural system developed for improving the seismic resilience of traditional braced frames (e.g., buckling ...
