Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) represent an effective strategy for the seismic retrofit of
existing steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), as they contribute to increasing the strength …

Two new structure-specific scalar intensity measures for plane steel frames under far-field
earthquakes are proposed. These intensity measures of the spectral acceleration and …

Supplementary energy dissipation has proved to be an effective way of protecting structures
from the disastrous effects of earthquakes and has been used in the last decades both in …

Buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) can mitigate the uneven inter-story drifts of vertically
irregular steel frame structures during earthquakes, preventing unfavorable seismic forces …

This paper reviews the applications of the multi degree-of-freedom (MDOF) equivalent linear
system in seismic analysis and design of planar steel and reinforced concrete framed …

Abstract The 2020 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) seismic hazard model (SHM)
marks a comprehensive update over its predecessor (NBCC 2015). For different regions in …

A post-tensioned (PT) timber building coupled with dissipative bracing systems is a
sustainable seismic-resistant structural system. This system combines desirable qualities of …

A resilient dual frame-wall lateral force-resisting system, designed to mitigate frame-
expansion challenges in self-centering structures, has been introduced. One notable …

The buckling-restrained braced frames with eccentric configurations (BRBF-Es) exhibit
stable cyclic behavior and possess a high energy absorption capacity. Additionally, they …

A new method for the estimation of inelastic displacements of steel moment resisting frames
(MRFs) under strong seismic ground motions is presented. The method comes as an …
