This paper presents a comprehensive economic seismic loss assessment of emerging steel
frames incorporating different types of self-centering braces. Particular focus is on failure …

A bstract During the past two decades, many emerging smart lateral force-resisting systems
have been proposed for achieving better post-earthquake recoverability than the …

Balloon-type cross-laminated timber coupled-wall (CLT-CW) structure is an emerging and
sustainable option for constructing tall timber buildings. The structure features buckling …

This paper reports an experimental work on a novel self-centering brace, which is a serial
combination of shape memory alloy slip friction damper and steel tube. The study initiates …

Abstract Reduced Beam Section (RBS) connections have been widely used to improve the
seismic performance of steel framed buildings by providing a seismic fuse mechanism …

In this study, the effect of modeling-related uncertainties on the expected annual losses of
modern code-compliant steel moment-frame buildings is analyzed. Probabilistic structural …

Self-centering energy-absorbing rocking core (SCENARIO) systems are emerging aseismic
structural systems developed for obtaining excellent self-centering and collapse-resistant …

Transmission towers are essential components supporting the operation of the power grid.
Accurately predicting their ultimate bearing capacity and progressive failure improve the …

This paper introduces a review of self‐centering steel frame systems for seismic‐resistant
structures. The components and basic mechanisms of the develo** posttensioned …

Post-earthquake fire is a multi-hazard combination with cascading effects, of which
catastrophic consequences are not only caused by the earthquake but exacerbated by the …
