This paper proposes a seismic resisting technique for reinforced concrete frame buildings
that uses a combination of a rubber core and a U-shaped friction damping system. The U …

This experimental study investigates cyclic performance of a timber-steel hybrid structural
system consisting of glulam frames and buckling restrained braces (BRBs). The BRBs are …

Prefabricated tension-only concentrically braced beam-through frames (BTFs) have
received popularity for low-rise steel buildings in low to moderate seismic regions. However …

Building isolation is a practical and ubiquitous method for reducing inter-story drift and story
acceleration. Previously it has been shown that since an isolator can increase the time …

In the common force-based design method prescribed in seismic codes, displacements of a
structure under reduced seismic forces are amplified by a deflection amplification factor, C d …

In line with efforts made by researchers aiming to enhance ductility of the bracing systems,
use of steel ring as an energy absorbing element with different pros and cons, has been …

This paper describes a numerical study using the finite element method to evaluate the
seismic performance of composite steel-concrete connections designed to protect critical …

Stability is one of the most important parameters to evaluate seismic base isolators. Previous
research has illustrated the power of base isolators with single and multiple rubber cores …

With the aim of improving the seismic performance and resiliency of steel framed-tube
structures (SFTSs), high-strength SFTSs with end-plate-connected replaceable shear links …

This paper is devoted to quantitative safety assessment of steel beam-columns, and delivers
a plain analytical formulation for predicting the ultimate combinations of axial force and …
