During seismic performance-based design for building structures, the accuracy of limit states
criteria is directly related to its real damage state and retrofitting measures after the …

The shear lag behavior significantly affects the stress distribution of structural members, and
ignorance of the shear lag behavior may cause serious engineering accidents. This work …

High-strength steel-framed-tube structures with low-yield-point shear links (SFT-RLYPSL)
exhibit exceptional lateral and torsional stiffness, coupled with significant energy dissipation …

Despite the many advantages of tube systems with braces, known as trussed tubes, no
specific seismic design criteria exist in the current regulations to design them, and …

High-rise tubular buildings experience the shear lag phenomenon due to wind load. This
phenomenon results in tension in upper storey columns that may adversely affect building …
