Despite the recent initiatives and developments in building design provisions using
performance-based design, practicing engineers frequently adopt force-based design …

The seismic behaviour factor (R) is evaluated for steel X-braced and knee-braced RC
buildings. The R factor components including ductility reduction factor and overstrength …

In this paper, overstrength, ductility and response modification factor of Buckling Restrained
Braced frames were evaluated. To do so, buildings with various stories and different bracing …

The results of experimental tests carried out on reinforced concrete (RC) full‐scale 2‐storey
2‐bays framed buildings are presented. The unretrofitted frame was designed for gravity …

This paper reports on the results of an investigation into the effectiveness of FRP retrofitting
the joints in enhancing the seismic performance level and the seismic behaviour factor (R) of …

The cost of the damage of the earthquakes in the last 10 years has been serious especially
on prefabricated industrial structures. Therefore in this study, extensive, serious damage and …

In recent decades, various strategies have been employed to enhance the seismic
resilience of structural systems in the event of earthquakes. One such innovative method is …

Diagrid systems are emerging as one of the structurally efficient and architecturally aesthetic
solutions for tall buildings. Despite the fact that such systems are increasingly used in …

This paper establishes the concept of the multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) response
spectrum as a means for the rapid determination of the peak response of a building …

Many tall buildings are practically irregular as an entirely regular high‐rise building rarely
exists. This study is thus devoted to assessing the approach and coefficients used in the …
