To study the influence of stiffness ratio on the seismic performance of buckling restrained braced (BRB)-reinforced concrete frames, three BRB frames with stiffness ratios of three, five, and seven were designed and tested. Based on low-cycle reversed loading, the energy dissipation capacity, failure mode, mechanical performance of BRB connection joint and gusset plate, rotational deformation performance of BRB, mechanism of bending moment at end of BRB were studied. Furthermore, the design method of beam and column connected to BRB was discussed. The test results show that all the specimen

To avoid damage localization effect in steel frame structures and enhance the structural energy dissipation capacity, a rocking steel frame with buckling-restrained columns (RSFB) was formed by replacing the side steel columns at the bottom story with buckling-restrained braces (BRBs). The buckling-restrained columns (BRCs) firstly yield to dissipate energy under a rare earthquake, and the rest parts of the steel frame remain elastic and rotate around the base of the middle column to control the deformation of the structure. A pseudo-static test was conducted for an RSFB model, the test phe

Considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) effect on soft soil foundation will affect the seismic isolation effect and dynamic characteristics of the isolated structures. The seismic response of long-period structures such as isolated buildings under the far-field long-period ground motion is strong, which may be greater after considering the SSI effect. In order to explore the mechanism of dynamic response and seismic isolation performance of the system of pile, soil and inter-story isolated structure under the far-field long-period ground motion, the shaking table test was carreid out o

To improve the load capacity of existing simply supported cold-formed thin-walled C-shaped steel purlin, the adjacent simply supported C-shaped purlins were connected to continuous purlins by embedded thin-walled L-shaped steel near the supports. The static loading tests were carried out on the two strengthened C-shaped purlins. One purlin has screw connection only in the web and another purlin has screw connection in the web and flange. The failure mode, stiffness, ductility, bearing capacity, and strain development of the strengthened purlins were analyzed and compared with the mechanical

Energy dissipation technology can effectively improve the seismic behavior of building structures. However, the consensus has not been achieved on the target performance and design method of the energy dissipation substructures. The design method based on elastic analysis under frequent earthquakes was proposed for the energy dissipation substructure using the inter-column connection. The design procedure and the associated key points were illustrated. A reinforced concrete frame substructure and two energy dissipation substructures were tested using low-cycle reversed loading to investigat
