This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of self-centering structures
from early historical structures that inherently exhibited a recentering response to modern …

Shear walls play crucial roles in buildings located in the seismically active regions by
efficiently mitigating the impact of seismic forces. However, they have drawbacks regarding …

Abstract Effect of higher vibration modes on the seismic shear demand of reinforced
concrete cantilever walls has been studied since the 1970's. The shear amplification …

Controlled rocking steel frames have been proposed as an efficient way to avoid the
structural damage and residual deformations that are expected in conventional seismic force …

As structures are built taller and more slender, their response becomes increasingly
sensitive to dynamic loads that are induced by the buildings' higher‐frequency vibration …

Rapid urban growth has been paired with a rapid increase in the demand for high‐rise
buildings, and has accelerated the need for develo** more resilient high‐rise buildings in …

The nonlinear static response of a vertically oriented coupled wall subjected to horizontal
loading is presented in this research article. The 3 storey vertically oriented coupled wall …

In recent years, researchers have proposed damage avoidance design philosophy, instead
of traditional design concept, which is inherently damage-oriented, to mitigate suffered …

Rapid urbanization has resulted in increased demand for tall buildings in many large and
medium-sized cities around the world. Current code-based standards for seismic design are …

The objective of this study is to determine the effects of near-fault ground motions with large,
medium and small pulse periods on a core-wall tall building. Three near-fault and one far …
