The design concept of structures equipped with seismic energy dissipation devices has evolved over the past decades. At present, a variety of energy dissipation devices and strategies are being popularly used for mitigating earthquake-induced damage in new and existing civil infrastructures. The capability of these devices has been proven successful in enhancing the seismic performance of structural and non-structural components during earthquake events. This Special Collection aims to generate a forum for state-of-the-art knowledge and future research directions in the broad area of advanced energy dissipation devices for seismic protection.
