This paper investigates the effect of the gravity framing system on the overstrength and
collapse risk of steel frame buildings with perimeter special moment frames (SMFs) …

This paper presents the development and application of multi-axis pseudo-dynamic hybrid
simulation for evaluating the seismic stability of steel braced frame structures. The advanced …

In this study, the effects of gravity framing and composite action on the residual drift
performance of steel special moment frames (SMFs) are investigated. Four steel structures …

The structural analysis practices of steel moment-resisting frame buildings often neglect the
participation of the interior gravity frames and composite floor slab action in their lateral …

This paper reports on a large-scale shaking table test of a high-rise steel building conducted
at the facility called E-Defense. The building specimen is a 1/3-scale 18-story steel moment …

Steel plate reinforced concrete composite shear wall (SPRW) is an excellent system for
dealing with lateral loads to protect against earthquake-induced collapse. In these systems …

Hybrid simulation is an economical structural testing technique in which the critical part of
the structure expected to respond in the inelastic range is tested physically whereas the rest …

This paper quantifies the lateral overstrength and the collapse risk of steel buildings with
perimeter special moment frames (SMFs) designed in highly seismic regions in North …
