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 …

Seismic metamaterial (SM) has lately received significant attention in the field of vibration
isolation and dam** due to its wave manipulation and bandgap properties. However, the …

There has been significant research effort on seismic-resistant precast bridge columns;
however, the research results have not been transferred into the industry to achieve their full …

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 …

The influence of residual interstorey drifts on economic losses in building resulting from
earthquakes is examined. Current building‐specific loss estimation methodologies that …

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 …

The seismic performance of segmental precast unbonded posttensioned bridge columns
with hollow cross sections is investigated in this paper. Bonded longitudinal mild steel …

The recent development of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) as an alternative to solid timber
or glue-laminated timber has greatly improved the viability of structural timber for the seismic …

In this paper, an enhanced probability density evolution method (PDEM) framework
considering multiple failure modes and limit states is proposed for reliability analysis of …

The self-centering technical approach is used widely to improve building resiliency. This
paper presents a double activation self-centering brace (DA-SCB) with two groups of disc …
