Abnormal events, that are unforeseeable low-probability and high-impact events, cause
local failure (s) to structures that can lead to the collapse of other members and, eventually …

Seismic resilience (SR) plays a vital role in evaluating and improving performance losses
along with saving repair costs of structures from potential earthquakes. To further explore the …

This paper investigated the fragility and inelastic performance of steel braced-core-tube
frame outrigger (SBFO) tall buildings with passive adaptive negative stiffness damped …

Despite their low probability of occurrence, the consequences of abnormal loads may be
very important, both in economic terms and in terms of human lives. This has stimulated the …

Asset managers are facing the challenges of shrinking budgets from one side and the
increasing frequency and impact of disturbances on their assets from the other side. To …

Three earthquake-resilient steel frame joints with different connection forms were
investigated in this study. The three joints were first tested via cyclic loading tests. The test …

This paper presents a numerical study on the progressive collapse response of concrete-
filled steel tube (CFST) composite joint. A novel beam-column connection by using …

This paper proposed a three-dimensional (3D) refined finite element method (FEM) to
determine seismic responses of the high-rise buildings resting on fluid-saturated soil …

Controlling the collapse area of a structure is a direct collapse-resistant design requirement.
However, existing theoretical models for collapse-resistant design establish the demand …

In recent years, the presence of progressive collapse in tall buildings induced a catastrophic
event which attracted the majority of the community's attention. The purpose of this paper is …
