Controlled Inelastic Response of BRS Energy Dissipation System in Self-Centering CFST Bridge Columns

Key Points

• Energy dissipation systems enhance the inelastic response of bridge columns, improving durability.
• The study emphasizes the role of self-centering in managing structural stability during stress.
• Analysis focuses on concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns under various loading conditions.
• Findings suggest that implementing effective energy dissipation methods may reduce seismic vulnerability.
