Abstract The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR) highlights
the importance of scientific research, supporting the 'availability and application of science …

Steel-hollow core partially encased composite spliced frame beam (SHSFB) and middle
partially encased composite brace (MPECB) demonstrate the potential to economize on …

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 …

This paper aims to propose self-centering companion spines with friction spring dampers
(denoted as SCS) for obtaining better post-earthquake resilience in steel building structures …

The weak story failure often occurs in steel frame structures and the collapse risk of the
frames will increase because of concentrated plastic deformation in the soft story. The work …

Nowadays' earthquake engineering is co** with the challenging task of providing low-cost
seismic resilient structures. Among others, a viable solution for seismic resilient Steel …

Self-centering (SC) precast wall structures have emerged as earthquake-resilient structural
systems with excellent seismic performances characterized by low damage as well as …

The weak properties of wood in perpendicular-to-grain direction have imposed significant
design challenges for post-tensioned (PT) timber frame structures. To resolve the …

This paper intends to develop a new lateral force-resisting system–the hybrid self-centering
companion spines system (denoted as the HSCS system)–for obtaining better seismic …

This paper presents a novel type of hybrid self-centering braces incorporating tension-only
superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) cables and integrated viscoelastic dampers …
