Controlled-rocking steel cores (CRSCs) effectively prevent earthquake-induced residual
damage while may suffer large lateral displacements. This paper gives a particular …

The frames with Buckling Restrained Braces (BRB's) are used as a lateral system. The
braces often have a limit amount of ductility and dissipated energy in cyclic loading …

The most common disadvantage in moment connections is the brittle fracture of the welded
area during an earthquake. One creative way to fix such disadvantages is to use Side Plates …

Although Buckling-Restrained Braces (BRBs) can dissipate a large amount of the seismic
input energy. However, they need to be repaired or replaced due to large permanent …

When a structure is exposed to an earthquake, depending on the severity of the earthquake,
it may be completely destroyed or remain completely intact, or some of its members may …

Uncertainty of design parameters is one of the most important variables in determining the
reliability of structures. In the design and analysis of steel frames, buckling-restrained brace …

With the development of new engineering materials, such as shape memory alloys, their use
in civil engineering applications has increased greatly. Thus, in the present study, the …

The structural systems used in mid-rise buildings are being developed quantitatively and
qualitatively to increase their resistance against gravity and lateral forces. Also, extensive …

This chapter reviews previous research on household preparedness and how this has been
employed in relation to earthquakes and the studies conducted to minimize the effects of this …

In this study, the probabilistic seismic performance of building frames with non-buckling
braces has been investigated using the incremental dynamic analysis method based on the …
