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 …

Buildings designed with conventional ductile earthquake-resisting structural systems are
expected to provide life safety performance, but they rely on significant structural damage to …

The self-centering rocking steel-braced frame is a high-performance system that can prevent
major structural damage and minimize residual drifts during large earthquakes. It consists of …

This paper describes the design, construction, and experimental results of a series of full-
scale 2-story mass-timber building shake table tests conducted at the Natural Hazards …

The primary seismic force-resisting system (SFRS) in middle-to high-rise reinforced concrete
(RC) building structures often includes coupled shear walls (CSWs) and single shear walls …

Controlled rocking steel braced frames (CRSBFs) are being developed as a seismic force
resisting system that can be constructed economically to avoid structural damage and …

Controlled rocking steel braced frames (CRSBFs) have been proposed as a low‐damage
seismic force resisting system with reliable self‐centring capabilities. Vertical post …

The self‐centering rocking steel frame is a seismic force resisting system in which a gap is
allowed to form between a concentrically braced steel frame and the foundation. Downward …

As one type of effective earthquake-resisting structural systems, buckling-restrained braced
frames are expected to provide good seismic performance through significant plastic …

A precast concrete frame with replaceable energy-dissipating connectors (REDC-PCF) is
proposed in this paper. The replaceable energy dissipating connectors (REDCs) are …
