Cylindrical shell structures are widely employed across engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine, and civil construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratios and efficiency in material ...

Buckling Restrained Braces application to provide more resilient bridges have been subjected to cyclic displacement histories representative of yearly thermal demands and of earthquake excitations.

The concept uses inexpensive braces called Buckling Restrained Braces (BRBs) and sliding bearings that work together to protect the bridge columns and superstructure from damage, so that the bridge ...
