This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of seismic design
requirements for main steel building seismic force–resisting systems, as driven by new …

Fatigue resistance is a key performance for the life-cycle sustainability of materials and
structures. Structural members subjected to flexural forces such as spring hinges in origami …

This paper proposes a computational approach for the collapse assessment of
concentrically braced frames (CBFs) subjected to earthquakes. Empirical formulations for …

This study proposes a type of bolted-welded beam–column joint for modularized
prefabricated multi-rise and high-rise steel structures. The components in the same module …

A beam–column joint used in a modularized prefabricated steel structure is proposed in this
paper in which factory welding is completed. The model tests and finite element analysis for …

This paper quantifies the collapse risk and earthquake-induced economic losses of steel-
frame buildings with special concentrically braced frames designed in urban California. A …

This paper explores the use of sliding friction dampers (SFDs) as dissipative floor
connectors to mitigate higher mode effects and earthquake‐induced absolute acceleration …

Two full-scale, two-story, low-ductility steel concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems were
tested to evaluate failure mechanisms, postelastic frame behavior, reserve capacity, and …

To better meet the requirements of building industrialization, this study proposes a Modular
Prefabricated Composite Interior Joint (MPCIJ), which consists of node modules …

This paper proposes a steel-reinforced concrete column-steel beam composite joint (MPCJ)
suitable for modular prefabricated building construction and investigates its seismic …
