Passive energy dissipation (PED devices have been implemented to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. In this paper metallic dampers are defined to be structural fuses (SF) when ...

Passive energy devices (PED) are useful to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. Metallic dampers are one such PED. When they are designed such that all damage is concentrated ...

The floor demands of Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) systems designed or retrofitted with metallic structural fuses are studied in this article. Floor velocity and acceleration are obtained and comparisons are made between ...

Seismic design relies on inelastic deformations through hysteretic behavior. However, this translates into damage on structural elements, permanent system deformations following an earthquake, and possibly high cost for ...

Metallic dampers can enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced lateral displacements, and by reducing inelastic behavior of beams and columns. Limiting story drift also indirectly allows for mitigation ...

O objetivo inicial deste trabalho foi reconhecer as espécies de Leptogium (Ach.) S.F. Gray coletadas na Serra da Mantiqueira, grupo de Collemataceae que foi criado em 1810 como subgrupo de Collema Weber ex F.H. Wigg., antes ...

O liquido da casca da castanha (LCC) é uma importante fonte de lipídios fenólicos não isoprenóides, por exemplo, os ácidos anacárdicos, cardóis, cardanóis e metil cardóis. Devido apresentarem caráter aromático e acíclico ...
