Computational and Experimental Investigation of Seismic Structural Fuse Shapes for Structural Systems
Structural fuses are ductile elements of a structure that are designed to yield and protect the surrounding members from damage, and then be replaceable after a major seismic event. A promising type of seismic structural fuse consists of a steel plate with engineered cutouts leaving a configuration …

Seismic design and analysis of hybrid masonry with fuse connectors
Hybrid masonry is a new structural system that is composed of reinforced masonry panels within a steel frame; currently, the application of this system has been limited to low seismic regions where wind loads tend to control the design of the lateral force resisting elements. To establish a …

Large-Scale Cyclic and Hybrid Simulation Testing and Development of a Controlled-Rocking Steel Building System with Replaceable Fuses
… in conventional structures can lead to structural damage distributed throughout the building and permanent drifts after the earthquake motion ceases which can make the structure difficult if not financially unreasonable to repair. A controlled rocking system has been developed which …
