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 …

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 …

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 paper explored the seismic behaviour of self-centring hybrid-steel-frame (SC-HSF)
employing energy dissipation sequences and the corresponding inelastic seismic demand …

The hybrid self‐centering braced frames (HSBFs) with shape memory alloy‐based braces
(SMABs) and viscous dampers (VDs) are an emerging structural system developed for …

The self-centering braced frames (SCBFs) have been widely investigated for enhancing the
building structures' post-earthquake repairability by reducing or even eliminating the …

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 …

A hybrid self-centering braced frame equipped with shape memory alloy-based self-
centering braces (SMA-SCBs) and viscous dampers is proposed to achieve enhanced …

This study proposes a performance-based seismic design (PBSD) method for steel braced
frames with novel self-centering (SC) braces that utilize shape memory alloys (SMA) as a …

Given their excellent self‐centering and energy‐dissipating capabilities, superelastic shape
memory alloys (SMAs) become an emerging structural material in the field of earthquake …
