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 …

Rapid urban growth has been paired with a rapid increase in the demand for high‐rise
buildings, and has accelerated the need for developing more resilient high‐rise buildings in …

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 …

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of near-fault ground motions with large,
medium and small pulse periods on a core-wall tall building. Three near-fault and one far …

As structures are built taller and more slender, their response becomes increasingly
sensitive to dynamic loads that are induced by the buildings' higher‐frequency vibration …

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 …

As a result of rapid urbanization worldwide, there is an increasing demand for high-rise
buildings, creating an acute need for more resilient tall structures, especially in regions of …

As the amplification of seismic force demands due to higher‐mode effects on tall buildings is
increasingly recognized as a design challenge, a number of high‐performance systems …

The reduced damage and residual deformations of rocking systems make them efficient for
designing resilient buildings for earthquakes. This paper presents a design approach for …

Most midrise and high-rise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings rely on RC structural walls as
their seismic force resisting system. The contribution of higher lateral modes to the elastic …
