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

Residual drift of structural systems after seismic events can make buildings uninhabitable
and may cause their collapse in aftershocks, as seen in the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake …

This paper presents a rocking system for concentrically braced frames (CBFs) to mitigate the
seismic demands induced by seismic motions. The proposed system incorporates double …

Re-purposing the foundations of older wind turbines to install new and larger wind turbines
can reduce the investment costs and carbon emissions of wind energy development …

This study investigates the soil–structure interaction (SSI) behavior of low-to medium-rise
steel moment-resisting frames (SMRF) resting on loose Ganga sand through a series of …

In the last decades, the concept of earthquake resilient structural systems is becoming
popular in which the rocking structure is considered as a viable option for buildings in …

Sources such as wind or severe seismic activity often exert extreme lateral loading onto the
shallow foundations supporting high-rise structures such as bridge piers, buildings, shear …

A wide open bottom story of a frame building is often expected by owners for use as a
garage or shops. However, this leads to weak stories due to abrupt changes in lateral …

Structural flexibility and soil nonlinearity have important effects on the rocking performance
of structures. However, there are a limited number of studies taking into account the …

This research explores the effectiveness of the use of stiff diaphragm walls next to a rocking
foundation through numerical simulation. This improvement technique is used as a means to …
