Carbon steel (CS) has been extensively used in the construction of steel moment frame
buildings in coastal, industrial, and rural regions. However, its performance under multi …

Substitute Frame (SF) model is a recently introduced equivalent simplified MDOF model by
the authors which is applicable to moment-resisting frames, facilitating the modeling efforts …

Fiber‐reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) are composed of layers of elastomer
reinforced with either steel or fibers, and can be placed in a bonded or unbonded …

A ground motion intensity measure (IM) characterizes the damage potential of seismic
ground motion on a structure and makes a connection between the structural response …

This paper proposes a new global damage index (DI) to evaluate and quantify the overall
damage state induced by near-fault ground motions to the steel structures. DIs are …

The possibility of ground motions propagating at speeds greater than the Rayleigh wave
speed was accepted not long ago, and thus studies on them are limited. These supershear …

To meet the recent requirements of low-damage design, there is a growing need to retrofit
building structures with a self-centering dissipation system. This system serves a dual …

The energy dissipation capacity of conventional viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) cannot be fully
exerted due to the relatively small inter‐story displacement of building structures. Thus, a …

This paper aimed at investigating the effect of site location versus the causative fault on the
seismic demand of structures and addressing the related parameters from different aspects …

In this study, a method has been proposed for the static and dynamic nonlinear analysis of
multi-storey buildings, which takes into account the contribution of axial deformations in …
