With critical lessons drawn from past major earthquakes, the engineering community is
appealing for a fundamental shift in the existing design philosophy for structures in seismic …

This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of self-centering structures
from early historical structures that inherently exhibited a recentering response to modern …

A brief review and state of the art for Performance-Based Wind Design (PBWD) has been
presented to provide researchers with clear historic literature on the development of PBWD …

Controlled rocking steel braced frames (CRSBFs) are being developed as a seismic force
resisting system that can be constructed economically to avoid structural damage and …

Rapid urbanization has resulted in increased demand for tall buildings in many large and
medium-sized cities around the world. Current code-based standards for seismic design are …

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on the low-damage performance
of a steel rocking column-base joint equipped with an asymmetric friction connection (AFC) …

Controlled rocking steel braced frames (CRSBFs) have been proposed as a low‐damage
seismic force resisting system with reliable self‐centring capabilities. Vertical post …

Rocking structural systems have been proposed as a promising solution for designing
resilient building structures. These low-damage systems can prevent significant economic …

This paper examines higher mode effects in systems where the ductile mechanism for
seismic design is the base moment‐rotation response. The modal properties of flexural and …

Direct displacement‐based design (DDBD) procedure utilizes an equivalent single‐degree‐
of‐freedom model to predict seismic demands while neglecting the higher mode effects …
