With critical lessons drawn from past major earthquakes, the engineering community is
appealing for a fundamental shift in the existing design philosophy for structures in seismic …

This study presents a novel hybrid self-centering system aiming to overcome critical
shortcomings identified in the existing self-centering solution. Two types of hybrid brace …

This paper presents the experimental evaluation of an earthquake-resilient rocking damage-
free steel column base, previously proposed and numerically investigated by the authors …

This paper presents the behaviour of steel moment resisting and braced frames under pulse-
like near-fault earthquakes. The key properties for characterizing near-fault ground motions …

This article presents an analytical study of the seismic collapse performance of seismically
isolated buildings and comparable non-isolated buildings. The study is based on …

Reinforced concrete (RC) wall is a common type of structural component used in high-rise
buildings to resist lateral loads induced by earthquakes. RC walls are typically designed and …

Abstract Nowadays, Buckling Restrained Braced Frame (BRBF) system is extensively used
for the seismic design of new buildings. This system is composed of Buckling Restrained …

This paper comprehensively discusses the behavior and failure risk of self‐centering braced
frames suffering tendon fracture. The fundamental mechanism of tendon failure in self …

This study reveals the effect of corrosion on the performance of typical self-centering energy
dissipation devices for seismic resilience enhancement. Two types of SC devices, namely …

Self-centering buckling-restrained braces (SC-BRBs) consisting of BRBs as the primary load-
resisting elements and shape-memory alloy (SMA) bars as the supplemental re-centering …
