Abstract Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are a new generation of smart materials with the
capability of recovering their predefined shape after experiencing a large strain. This is …

Buildings can have heavy damages or collapse because of severe earthquakes. Previous
studies showed that structural damage due to earthquake is the cause of large …

Because of the limitations posed by the topographic conditions, buildings located on hill
slopes have highly irregular configurations in comparison with buildings located on flat …

For buildings with repeatable units, modular construction provides an alternative to
traditional on-site construction. Modular steel buildings (MSBs) are composed of …

Nowadays, performance-based seismic design is the focus of earthquake engineering
research, in which the seismic performance of a structure is mainly evaluated based on …

Conventional seismic performance evaluation methods for building structures with soil–
structure interaction effects are inefficient for regional seismic damage assessment as a …

The paper proposes a displacement‐based design method for seismic retrofit of RC
buildings using hysteretic dissipative braces. At first, a fully multimodal procedure based on …

To quantify the post-earthquake residual seismic capacity of reinforced concrete (RC)
column members, experimental data for 6 column specimens with flexural, flexural–shear …

With improving technology, the idea of using energy dissipater equipment has been
strengthened in order to control the structures response in dynamic loads such as wind and …

Structural integrity and ensuring the stability of steel frame structures, including marine and
coastal structures, are the main challenges for designers in civil infrastructures, particularly …
