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 …

The post-earthquake repairability of self-centering buckling restrained braced frames
(SCBFs) is usually evaluated based on structural performance indexes. From the view of the …

Self-centering concentrically braced frames (SCCBFs) are emerging as one of the high
performance seismically resistant framing systems, known for the capability of controlling …

The self-centering brace (SCB) generally exhibits higher initial stiffness than the buckling-
restrained brace (BRB), which has great effects on structural performance. In this work, a …

In recent decades, a variety of self‐centering braces (SCBs) have been developed to
address the limitations of conventional frames by decreasing residual drift due to …

The self-centering technical approach is used widely to improve building resiliency. This
paper presents a double activation self-centering brace (DA-SCB) with two groups of disc …

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 …

Earthquake-resisting frame systems that are designed based on current seismic provisions
provide life safety performance in a large earthquake, but may have significant structural …

The self-centering braced frames (SCBFs) have been widely investigated for enhancing the
building structures' post-earthquake repairability by reducing or even eliminating the …

It has been shown that having a low post-elastic (secondary) stiffness for conventional
structures can be beneficial in terms of putting a limit on base shear of the structure although …
