Shear walls play crucial roles in buildings located in the seismically active regions by
efficiently mitigating the impact of seismic forces. However, they have drawbacks regarding …

This paper presents a comparative study of the seismic performance of base-rocking and bi-
rocking walls with different location of the rocking section systems. To this aim, structures of …

This paper investigates the dynamic response of an elastic single‐degree‐of‐freedom
oscillator coupled with a rocking wall. Both configurations of a stepping rocking wall and a …

This paper demonstrates the enhanced resilience performance of steel structures with
viscoelastic friction dampers (VEFDs) based on numerical simulations of building …

Controlled-rocking steel cores (CRSCs) effectively prevent earthquake-induced residual
damage while may suffer large lateral displacements. This paper gives a particular …

This paper investigates the inelastic response of a yielding single-degree-of-freedom
oscillator coupled with a rocking wall. Configurations of both a stepping rocking wall and a …

Seismic retrofit of an existing steel-reinforced concrete hospital building that features
innovative use of a continuous energy-dissipative steel column (CEDC) system is presented …

This paper proposes a novel precast self-centering shear wall with multiple hinged joints
(PSCSWMHJ) as an alternative seismic resilient system, which is composed of pinned …

As a result of rapid urbanization worldwide, there is an increasing demand for high-rise
buildings, creating an acute need for more resilient tall structures, especially in regions of …

To upgrade the existing RC frame structure with insufficient seismic design, a novel and
advanced gapped eccentric steel brace (GESB) system was proposed. The finite element …
