One of the main components for develo** regional seismic risk models is the fragility
functions of common building types. Due to the differences between the national design …

This paper describes a new seismic protection system for timber platform frame buildings,
either for new construction or retrofit. The system consists in connecting the timber frame to a …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of the geometric arrangement
of the trusses on the response modification factor of the special truss moment frame. For this …

Researchers in the field of earthquake engineering are always looking for new ways to
improve the seismic behavior of structures. The buckling-restrained brace (BRB) is one of …

Inelastic deformation of structural components is generally acceptable in seismic design. In
such behavior, the strength of structures increases while plastic hinges are formed in …
