Enhanced design and experimental investigation of disc spring‐based self‐centering buckling‐restrained braces with a compounded combination mode

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2023
The disc spring‐based self‐centering energy dissipation (SCED) brace is a high‐capacity resilient structural component, characterized by a flag‐shaped hysteresis curve, which can provide both damping and recentering capacity to a structure.

Experimental study on a steel self-centering rocking column with SMA slip friction dampers

Engineering structures, 2023
This paper investigates the cyclic behavior of a steel self-centering (SC) rocking column. The steel SC rocking column consists of an H-section steel column and a pair of shape memory alloy (SMA) slip-friction dampers (SMASFDs).
