In the last two decades, mass timber structures have gained popularity in mid-rise or tall
building applications worldwide. For timber buildings in seismic regions, it is critical to …

Floor vibration, although not a safety concern, is a prevalent performance complaint in multi-
story structures. With the increasing use of mass timber construction, various types of long …

This paper presents a direct displacement-based design (DDBD) approach for the buckling
restrained braces (BRBs) braced glue-laminated timber (glulam) frame (BRBGF) structures …

An unbonded post-tensioned (PT) concrete wall system with vertical energy-dissipating
connections (UPTW-VEC) is proposed that consists of precast wall panels, several X …

Self-centering structures have been demonstrated to be an effective method by which to
improve seismic resilience. Most related research is focused on the seismic performance of …

Steel-timber hybrid structure can bring the benefits of timber and steel together in a more
effective way. In this paper, a steel-timber hybrid structure with separated gravity and lateral …

A novel low-damage self-centering frame-bamboo wall structural system was proposed in
the present study by combining a resilient self-centering frame and a bamboo scrimber wall …

Conventional eccentric braced frames often sustain large residual deformations and
significant damages after strong earthquakes which may lead to heavy damages or even …

This research presents hybrid steel-timber shear walls (HSTSWs) as an environmentally
friendly and structurally efficient system. The HSTSW system provides quick and easy …

To improve the energy dissipation capacity and ductility of self-centering (SC) shear walls
and address their lack of redundancy and poor robustness, this study proposes a novel …
