This paper presents a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the research carried out on
the energy-based structural seismic design methods. Since earthquake exerts energy to the …

Observations from past earthquakes demonstrated that buildings in high seismic regions
might be exposed to several aftershocks following the mainshock which can significantly …

This study proposes high-strength steel framed-tube structures fused with replaceable shear
links (HSS-FTSLs) to improve the seismic performance and post-earthquake reparability of …

Aftershocks can increase building vulnerability and decrease life-safety of the residents;
nevertheless, no practical design method has yet been considered the seismic risk of …

Worldover, seismic design of buildings typically follows a prescriptive approach in which
designers conform to a series of prescriptive code requirements in terms of both analysis …

This work mainly aims to propose a new design procedure combining the benefits of the
Performance-Based Plastic Design approach (PBPD) with a rigorous accounting of second …

Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) collapse mainly because of soft story formation at one
or a few stories in which excessive brace buckling occurs. This study provides an intuitive …

The collapse of building structures during earthquakes has drawn much attention to the
safety assessment and seismic design of structures to prevent their collapse. From the …

This paper presents the development of performance based plastic design (PBPD) method
for steel moment frames with considering the gravity loads and P-Δ effects. In this method …

Abstract A 20 storied Reinforced Concrete (RC) Moment Resisting Frame (MRF) has been
analysed and designed by Force Based Design (FBD) method and the Performance Based …
