This study proposes a novel hybrid self-centering brace (HSB) with structural and
nonstructural damage-control capabilities for the seismic resilience of building structures …

The self-centering brace (SCB) has drawn the attention of many researchers for its good
seismic performance in reducing structural residual deformation due to earthquakes …

Partially self-centering structures are promising seismic resilient structural systems by
reducing residual inter-story drifts with low initial construction costs. Comprehensive studies …

This paper presents an innovative two-level shape memory alloy (SMA)-based self-centring
(SC) steel column, referred to as TSSSC. The TSSSC is interconnected by two series of SMA …

This research's aim is to develop a novel peak and residual deformation-targeted design
(PRBD) procedure for enhancing BRBF's post-earthquake repairability with self-centering …

This study focuses on developing strength reduction factor R μ spectrum, a maximum
inelastic displacement (MID) estimation method and a displacement-based design method …

A bstract To mitigate the high mode effects and reduce the force requirements of the
structural members in the multi-story self-centering dual rocking core (SDRC) system, this …

This study explores comparative seismic performance of a shape memory alloy (SMA)-only
device, a friction damper, and a hybrid self-centering device. The self-centering device …

With the development of the Chinese economy and society, the height and density of urban
buildings are increasing, and large underground transportation hubs have been constructed …
