This paper reviews the conceptual and technical advances in multi-actuator dynamic
loading in modern structural testing. In particular, a focus is given to the developments and …

A novel framework for hybrid simulation of the seismic response of structures is presented
that employs a mixed displacement and force control strategy. A key feature of this …

This paper proposes a digital twin-based multi-element hybrid simulation (DMHS)
framework to predict the nonlinear cyclic response of structural components (digital twin), eg …

A full-scale, two-tiered steel buckling-restrained braced frame (BRBF) was tested to evaluate
experimentally the seismic behavior of steel multitiered BRBFs, namely, column stability …

A set of seismic analysis and design requirements are presented to improve seismic stability
of steel two-tiered eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) with I-shaped link beams. The …

This paper aims to evaluate the seismic response of multitiered buckling-restrained braced
frames (MT-BRBFs), assess the design provisions specified by the 2022 AISC Seismic …

Flat plate-column connections are integral components of reinforced concrete structures,
commonly used in modern construction for their simplicity and aesthetic flexibility. However …

This paper evaluates seismic stability of multi-tiered steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs)
with build-up tubular shear links, emphasizing on the stability response of intermediate …

Steel multitiered concentrically braced frames (MT-CBFs) not specifically detailed for seismic
resistance with a response modification factor of R= 3 are permitted in moderate seismic …

This paper examines the seismic behaviour of steel Multi-Tiered Buckling-Restrained
Braced Frames (MT-BRBFs) and proposes analysis and design methods to improve their …
