Energy Dissipating Fuse Plate Tested at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as part of the controlled rocking self-centering seismic system. This fuse plate is designed with butterfly shaped links that plastic hinge and then undergo lateral torsional buckling to limit over strength. (image courtesy Matt Eatherton)

STRUCTURAL STABILITY
RESEARCH COUNCIL
Welcome to the Structural Stability Research Council (SSRC) website. SSRC is the world's preeminent organization dedicated to advancing stability research for application to structures. The SSRC works closely with government and non-governmental agencies around the world, and is dedicated to enabling engineering advances in the design of metal and metal-concrete composite structures. To learn more about us and our activities select a topic from the navigation bar at the top of the page or from one of our recent news or announcement items to the right.
