This paper presents a test campaign concerning the behavior of concrete-filled cold-formed
steel built-up section stub columns. The test program consisted of five types of cold-formed …

In this research, the seismic performance of a half-scaled three-storey high strength steel
frame with curved knee braces (HSSF-CKB) under extreme earthquakes was investigated …

This paper is an attempt to investigate the structural behavior of concrete-filled cold-formed
steel stub columns with semi-oval cross sections via experimental and numerical studies …

In current composite floors, the strength of the deck connections restraining the profiled steel
decks to the floor beams or to the neighboring steel decks are much weaker compared with …

The hybrid self-centering braced frame (HSBF) is an emerging seismic resilient structural
system with the capacity of controlling peak inter-story drifts and floor accelerations and …

This paper investigates the inelastic seismic demands of steel frames equipped with shape
memory alloys (SMAs) subjected to mainshock-aftershock earthquake sequences. Based on …

Partially self-centering behavior has been considered a promising and beneficial solution for
achieving seismic resilience of building structures in the life-cycle span. This paper aims to …

Owing to their sufficient ductility, conventional steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) are
widely used as seismic-resistant systems in building structures. However, the ductile …

Self-centering beam-to-column connections (SBCs) were widely investigated to enhance
conventional steel moment-resisting frame's (MRF's) post-earthquake repairability by …

The newly emerged elliptical hollow section (EHS) has a vast of structural and architectural
merits and is favorable for engineers and designers. This paper presents an experimental …
