    • Design of RSFJ Self-centring Brace for Ultimate Limit State 

      Yousef-Beik, Seyed Mohammad Mehdi; Varier, Sriraj; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre (2021-04-14)
      In previous studies, it was shown that the RSFJ brace assembly is prone to elastic buckling for which a new mechanism composed of two telescopic sections was introduced as a remedy to increase the elastic buckling load, ...
    • Experimental and analytical evaluation of different failure modes of self-centring braces 

      Yousef-Beik, Seyed Mohammad Mehdi; Hashemi, Ashkan; Zarnani, Pouyan; Quenneville, Pierre; Seifi, Mehrdad; Veismoradi, Sajad (2022-04-27)
      As resilience of structures during seismic events is currently a main structural engineering topic, Low-damage self-centring braces have the potential to serve this purpose by becoming a common low-damage lateral load ...
    • Seismic retrofitting of RC-frames using Resilient Slip Friction Joint toggle-bracing system 

      Veismoradi, Sajad; Quenneville, Pierre; Yousef-Beik, Seyed Mohammad Mehdi; Zarnani, Pouyan (2020-04-22)
      Seismic retrofitting of the current non-ductile or limited ductile RC buildings is one of the challenging design topics among the scholars and engineers. The common technique for RC-frame retrofitting involves adding ...
