Rocking structural systems have been proposed as a promising solution for designing
resilient building structures. These low-damage systems can prevent significant economic …

Earthquakes pose a significant threat to both human lives and infrastructure, making
earthquake-resistant building design a critical focus in the field of civil engineering. Over the …

Buildings designed using current seismic codes typically undergo significant structural
damage and residual deformations under a design-level earthquake. To avoid this …

An enhanced elongation self-centring beam (ESCB) was developed in this study for use in
short-span buildings. Disc springs were inserted into the beam body to provide additional …

The post-earthquake restoration of prestressed precast walls requires the renewal of post-
tensioning (PT) tendons and dissipaters. This study introduces a Locally Prestressed precast …

This study examines the seismic vulnerability of vertically irregular reinforced concrete (RC)
frame buildings, focusing on the effectiveness of retrofitting techniques such as rocking walls …

The construction of low damage, self-centering, unbonded post-tensioned seismic systems
requires special techniques and equipment such as hydraulic jacks to stress tendons that …

Non-linear soil-structure interaction, in which the nonlinearity of the soil is investigated,
could decrease the force demand in a superstructure and significantly dissipate earthquake …

In this study, the effect of columns with a rocking-base isolation system on enhancing the
seismic performance of a reinforced concrete building is investigated. A compara-tive study …

Nowadays, self-centering (SC) lateral resistant systems are able to reduce residual
displacement and post-earthquake repairing costs. By concentrating damages on fuse …
