Steel structures have long been recognized as excellent earthquake-resistant systems.
However, this viewpoint wavered after the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes …

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 …

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 …

An innovative self-centring damper equipped with shape memory alloy elements and wedge-
shaped friction plates (ie SMA-VFSD) characterised by multiple energy-dissipation …

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

This study presents a novel type of shape memory alloy (SMA) cable‐restrained high
dam** rubber (SMA‐HDR) bearing, which is particularly suited to near‐fault (NF) regions …

As a promising candidate in the construction industry, iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-
