the importance of scientific research, supporting the 'availability and application of science …

Various self-centering structural systems were developed and investigated for reducing
residual inter-story drifts of the traditional aseismic structural system by achieving full or …

Resonators, inertial amplifiers, negative stiffness devices, and impacting oscillators are
added to the core materials of conventional passive vibration isolation systems to address …

A strong self-centering ability and robust ductility have previously been observed in the
pseudo-static cyclic loading test conducted on a self-centering shear wall (SCSW) with disc …

This paper investigates the inelastic seismic demands of steel frames equipped with shape
memory alloys (SMAs) subjected to mainshock-aftershock earthquake sequences. Based on …

Seismic evaluation of industrial facilities may need to employ multi-performance indicators in
various yielding stages towards a more delicate design methodology. This paper develops a …

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 …

Many recent research studies have focused on developing innovative seismic-resilient
structural systems to reduce repair costs and downtime in the aftermath of an earthquake. In …

The seismic performance of buildings can be improved by adding supplemental damping
using friction dampers. The friction behavior of the metallic shims becomes more stable with …

Many recent research studies focused on the development of innovative seismic-resilient
structures, chasing the objectives of minimising both seismic damage and repair time, hence …
