Structures designed in accordance with even the most modern buildings codes are
expected to sustain damage during a severe earthquake; however; these structures are …

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 …

This paper presents a review of high performance damage‐resistant seismic resistant
structural (DRSRS) systems for the sustainable and resilient city. Firstly, the motivation and …

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 reports the Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) of post-tensioned self-
centering rocking steel frame structures with buckling-restrained bracing systems. The …

Base-rocking walls (BRWs) were excellent in maintaining enhanced post-earthquake
serviceability and decreasing repair costs and downtime. However, little research has been …

Controlled rocking steel frames have been proposed as an efficient way to avoid the
structural damage and residual deformations that are expected in conventional seismic force …

This paper proposes a self-centering rocking dual-core braced frame system with buckling-
restrained fuses (SC-RDC-BRF). While providing low-damage design and improved seismic …

This paper presents the seismic upgrade of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures by
using a self-centering post-tensioned pre-cast concrete frame with friction dampers (SC-PC …

Conventional concentrically braced frames (CBFs) undergo many cycles of inelastic
deformation during seismic excitation. This inelastic deformation leads to the possibility that …
