In the recent history the development of inter-module connection (IMC) systems for steel
modular building systems (MBSs) has gained traction with many researchers and engineers …

This paper aims to present the axial behavior of a new composite column through an
experimental and computational investigation. Four distinct configurations of novel CF-CFS …

The steel–concrete composite columns (SCCC) are widely used in the construction sector.
The buckling phenomenon of the steel part (especially thin-walled steel) of the SCCC due to …

Inter-story seismic isolation has become a valuable solution for high-rise buildings to
effectively separate the various parts having several functions, and thus different seismic …

As a high-performance hysteretic damper, buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) can
significantly improve the seismic behavior of engineering structures and protect the main …

This paper presents a comprehensive economic seismic loss assessment of emerging steel
frames incorporating different types of self-centering braces. Particular focus is on failure …

Background During an earthquake, an enormous amount of elastic strain energy is released
which can be measured by the intensity of shaking in terms of PGA (Peak Ground …

The recent technological advancements achieved in modular construction have accelerated
the trend of building taller self-standing steel modular building systems (MBSs), leading to a …

In this paper, the behavior of a natural rubber bearing system (NRBs) equipped with U-
shaped dampers is investigated. The U-shaped dampers consist of shaped memory alloy …

An improved seismic fragility analysis method without any assumption on the distribution of
the target engineering demand parameter is proposed based on an ensemble neural …
