The design philosophy and methodology of civil engineering structures have been
constantly evolving, from the early strength-based to more recent performance-based design …

This paper presents a review of high performance damage‐resistant seismic resistant
structural (DRSRS) systems for the sustainable and resilient city. Firstly, the motivation and …

The rapid growth of using the short links in steel buildings due to their high shear strength
and rotational capacity attracts the attention of structural engineers to investigate the …

This study assesses the seismic performance of a hybrid coupled wall (HCW) system with
replaceable steel coupling beams (RSCBs) at four intensities of ground motion shaking. The …

This paper proposes an innovative coupled wall system, named the tuned viscous mass
damper (TVMD) coupled wall system, for use in high-rise buildings. This novel wall system is …

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

In coupled wall systems, coupling beams distributed along the structural height are intended
to yield and dissipate seismic energy under moderate and severe earthquakes. The use of …

Reinforced concrete (RC) coupled walls are extensively used as the seismic-resistant
structural system of tall buildings in high seismic zones. In RC coupled wall systems, the …

The reinforced concrete columns and steel beams (RCS) composite frames have received
popularity in low to moderate seismic regions due to advantages of the system. However …

Modular construction has been widely adopted for low-to-medium-rise buildings. However,
there are concerns about the wind and seismic resisting performance of high-rise buildings if …
