Seismic metamaterial (SM) has lately received significant attention in the field of vibration
isolation and damping due to its wave manipulation and bandgap properties. However, the …

In this research study, a novel double C-section steel slit damper (DCSSD) was proposed.
Six cyclic loading tests of DCSSD specimens were carried out to study the effects of strip …

Buildings designed with conventional ductile earthquake-resisting structural systems are
expected to provide life safety performance, but they rely on significant structural damage to …

The permanent deformation of the building after seismic excitations can be determined by
the Maximum Residual Interstory Drift Ratio (MR-IDR), which may be used for measuring the …

Recent research developed and experimentally validated a self‐centering buckling‐
restrained brace (SC‐BRB) that employs a restoring mechanism created using concentric …

This paper focuses on a new lateral-force-resisting system–the Self-Centering Energy-
Absorbing Rigid Core system (denoted as the SCENARIO system)-for achieving enhanced …

A three-column reinforced concrete bridge bent that did not have reinforcement details
necessary to provide adequate load capacity and displacement ductility was evaluated …

Earthquake-resisting frame systems that are designed based on current seismic provisions
provide life safety performance in a large earthquake, but may have significant structural …

To assess the safety of structures after the occurrence of an earthquake or decide about
demolition or repair of structures, maximum residual interstory drift ratio (MRD) is one of the …

Seismic metamaterials (SMs) have attracted the attention of many researchers in the field of
damping and elastic wave isolation because of their bandgap properties, ie, attenuating …
