This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of seismic design
requirements for main steel building seismic force–resisting systems, as driven by new …

Reducing carbon emissions in the construction sector is essential in a period of climate
emergency. Disassembly and reuse of structural members are considered to reduce the …

The disc spring‐based self‐centering energy dissipation (SCED) brace is a high‐capacity
resilient structural component, characterized by a flag‐shaped hysteresis curve, which can …

The present study assesses the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames
(MRFs) retrofitted with different bracing systems. Three structural configurations were …

Ultra-low cycle fatigue (ULCF) is a critical concern in the seismic design of steel structures
due to its adverse effects on the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of steel …

The use of special concentrically braced frames has increased since the 1994 Northridge
and 1995 Hyogoken–Nanbu Earthquakes. However, past performance suggests limited …

A series of full‐scale shaking table tests are conducted using the E‐Defense shaking table
facility on a base‐isolated four‐story RC hospital structure. A variety of furniture items …

An accurate evaluation of the structural performance of reinforced concrete structural
systems under seismic loading requires a probabilistic approach due to uncertainties in …

A computational model for studying the mechanical performance of steel-concrete columns
under combined torsion is established via ABAQUS. The model is validated by experimental …

Box–columns are convenient structural members for moment resisting frames, but providing
a proper beam to box–column connection is still under investigation due to the closed shape …
