This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on friction type passive energy dissipation
devices. Friction dampers are highly preferred as an energy dissipation device, particularly …

With critical lessons drawn from past major earthquakes, the engineering community is
appealing for a fundamental shift in the existing design philosophy for structures in seismic …

Various self-centering structural systems were developed and investigated for reducing
residual inter-story drifts of the traditional aseismic structural system by achieving full or …

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 …

This paper comprehensively discusses the seismic performance of steel moment-resisting
frames with hybrid-self-centring connections (SMRF-HSCC) employing energy dissipation …

A recent study has shown that residual drifts after earthquakes that are greater than 0.5% in
buildings may represent a complete loss of the structure from an economic perspective. To …

In this study, an innovative replaceable fuse connection for beam members in moment
resisting steel frames was proposed. Steel angles are designed as fuse elements for energy …

Many recent research studies focused on the development of innovative seismic resilient
structures by chasing the objectives of minimising both seismic damage and repair time …

Structures designed in accordance with even the most modern buildings codes are
expected to sustain damage during a severe earthquake; however; these structures are …

The hybrid self-centering braced frame (HSBF) is an emerging seismic resilient structural
system with the capacity of controlling peak inter-story drifts and floor accelerations and …
