The seismic performance of rigid steel frames is widely investigated, but that of semi-rigid
(SR) steel frames are not studied extensively, especially for near-field earthquakes. In this …

The beneficial effect of using hybrid frames is realized in terms of the reduction of some
desired engineering demand parameters (EDPs). However, this is achieved at the cost of …

This paper investigates the seismic performance of steel moment resisting frames, exploring
the potential for energy dissipation not only in the beams but in the beam-to-column joints …

The near field pulse-like ground motion has significant effects on a long-period structure like
a wind turbine. Such pulses can be due to source effect (directivity) or site effect (presence of …

Directivity and fling step effects are the prominent features of near-field (NF) ground motion
and therefore the response of the structures would be quite different near to the fault rupture …

In this paper, the seismic performance of a low and mid-rise moment-resisting steel frame
has been studied, including three and nine stories buildings with a mat foundation on soft …

Near-field effects like directivity pulses are known to cause severe damage to particular
kinds of infrastructure but most studies have limited themselves to the level of structural …

The desired structural performance of a novel self-centring pinned beam–column
connection with friction dampers (SC-PC-FD) has been reported. An accurate mechanical …

Purpose Although mechanical behavior of rigid frame pier has been clearly recognized, their
time-varying seismic performance are yet to be well characterized due to some offshore …

Seismic demand estimation of steel moment-resisting frames (SMRF) is a function of
uncertainties caused by using different ground motion records and capacity uncertainty due …
