Triangular-plate added damping and stiffness(TADAS)devices are reliable metallic energy dissipaters for seismic upgrading used in design and retrofitting of civil structures.Conventional TADAS devices are designed wit...
Incremental dynamic analysis and nonlinear static pushover analysis are carried out on a performance-based design to determine the seismic demands and capacities of an elliptic braced moment resisting frame(ELBRF).The...

Most current seismic design includes the nonlinear response of a structure through a response reduction factor (R). This allows the designer to use a linear elastic force-based approach while accounting for nonlinea...
In order to ensure that a structure does not collapse when subjected to the action of strong ground motions, modern codes include prescriptions in order to guarantee the ductile behavior of the elements and of the who...
