Abstract The Resilient Slip Friction Joint (RSFJ) has recently been developed and
introduced to the construction industry. This joint is a friction-based energy dissipation …

Conventional eccentric braced frames often sustain large residual deformations and
significant damages after strong earthquakes which may lead to heavy damages or even …

A 9 m high, near full scale three-storey configurable steel frame composite floor building
incorporating friction-based connections is to be tested using two linked bi-directional shake …

Bridges may suffer large residual displacements after a severe earthquake, which
significantly impedes the post-quake rescue activities. It is imperative to minimize the …

In recent years, there has been more interest in utilisation of slip friction connectors among
researchers, due to their energy dissipation without any yielding of the components …

Seismic behavior of RC frames with hybrid steel-trussed concrete beams is affected by
panel zone damage due to a large amount of longitudinal reinforcement. Here the seismic …

Modular construction is becoming a prevalent technique combining off-site construction and
on-site assembly to provide fast, reliable and high-quality permanent buildings. The modular …

Previous studies have demonstrated that the response of stable yielding systems to random
excitations such as earthquakes is inherently accompanied by residual deformations. Stable …
