This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of self-centering structures
from early historical structures that inherently exhibited a recentering response to modern …

In recent years, innovative seismic resistant systems have been introduced based on the
Damage Avoidance Design (DAD) philosophy rather than the conventional plastic design …

The achievement of adequate performance objectives for buildings under increasing
seismic intensities is not only related to the performance of structural members but also to …

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 …

A rocking podium structure is a class of structures consisting of a superstructure placed on
top of a rigid slab supported by free‐standing columns. The free‐standing columns respond …

Rapid urban growth has been paired with a rapid increase in the demand for high‐rise
buildings, and has accelerated the need for developing more resilient high‐rise buildings in …

Seismic design tools are based on surrogate models of the designed structure and the
responses of those surrogates to earthquake ground motions. To design symmetric flexible …

Rapid urbanization has resulted in increased demand for tall buildings in many large and
medium-sized cities around the world. Current code-based standards for seismic design are …

Controlled rocking steel braced frames (CRSBFs) have been proposed as a low‐damage
seismic force resisting system with reliable self‐centring capabilities. Vertical post …

As structures are built taller and more slender, their response becomes increasingly
sensitive to dynamic loads that are induced by the buildings' higher‐frequency vibration …
