The self-centering brace (SCB) has drawn the attention of many researchers for its good
seismic performance in reducing structural residual deformation due to earthquakes …

This paper investigates the inelastic seismic demands of steel frames equipped with shape
memory alloys (SMAs) subjected to mainshock-aftershock earthquake sequences. Based on …

Recent destructive seismic events have underlined the need for increasing research efforts
devoted to the development of innovative seismic‐resilient structures able to reduce seismic …

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

In recent years there have been significant advancements in the definitions of innovative
seismic-resilient structural systems, chasing the urgent need to reduce repair costs and …

This study proposes a novel hybrid self-centering dual rocking core (HSDRC) system with
structural and nonstructural damage control functions for the building structure's seismic …

In this paper, an all-steel assembled cruciform buckling-restrained brace is proposed for the
first time. It is mainly composed of 26 main components, including one external restraint …

In this paper, a new precast self-centering rocking shear wall system (PSCRSW) mainly
composed of precast reinforced concrete (RC) wall, V-shaped steel brace and pre-pressed …

Low damage design is an alternative to conventional seismic design, where earthquake-
induced damage in the building is controlled and minimised. The most common approach to …

Significant inelastic deformations induced in structural systems lead to structures possibly
possessing some degree of permanent lateral deformation following major seismic events …
