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

This paper reports the Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) of post-tensioned self-
centering rocking steel frame structures with buckling-restrained bracing systems. The …

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 …

The low-damage self-recovering prefabricated concrete (SRPC) frame using modular mild
steel dampers is illustrated. Six low-cyclic repeated loading tests adopted 5 types of modular …

A base-rocking dual-core braced-frame (BRDC) system equipped with vertical buckling-
restrained fuses (BRF) was developed to prevent the soft-story failure mechanism. The …

In order to improve seismic resilience and reparability of precast concrete buildings, different
forms of rocking wall building systems have been proposed in recent decades. The base …

Self-centering base-rocking walls (SCBRWs) ensure building serviceability after a seismic
event and can minimize downtime and repair expenses. The current study examined the …

In recent years, demands for mitigating structural damage and post-earthquake repair costs
have spurred considerable research on self-centering seismic force-resisting systems. This …

This paper summarizes a study focused on evaluating the post-fire performance of steel
Intermediate Moment Frames (IMFs) following earthquakes. To this aim, archetypes …

The increasing demand for safer and more resilient structures seems to have significantly
impacted the design approaches and the development of new structural systems. As …
