... review was conducted encompassing experimental studies, numerical analyses, case studies and real-world examples. This review examines fiber-reinforced polymer ( FRP ) wrapping, steel jacketing, concrete jacketing, base isolation energy dissipation devices, shear walls and bracing systems. Performance...

.... The explanation lies largely in the energy dissipation mechanism. In particular, the structure’s overall behavior coefficient is “q”. The purpose of this study is to provide a method for evaluating the behavior factor and the comparison between two types of bracing of metal structures. Design/methodology...
