Current building codes aim to ensure the acceptable performance of structures implicitly.
Because these provisions are empirically developed for low‐to medium‐rise buildings, their …

Collapse behavior of double layer dome space structures depends on different factors such
as load pattern, material mechanical properties, and member's physical characteristics …

This study assessment of the collapse capacity of special steel moment frames (SSMFs) with
considering earthquake shock sequences for structures height from 4 to 20 stories. The …

Abstract The concept of Reduced Beam Section (RBS) connections in steel framed buildings
have been widely adopted in previous studies as well as European and American Design …

The design philosophy of strong-column-weak-beam (SCWB) in which plastic deformation is
predominantly allowed to occur in beams while columns remain essentially elastic is …

Abstract Seismic behavior of Steel Moment Resisting Frames (SMRFs) with Drilled Flange
(DF) connections as well as Reduced Beam Section (RBS) and Welded Unreinforced …

The probabilistic framework for seismic performance evaluation developed by PEER has
been widely used in the literature. This framework consists of four steps: hazard analysis …

This study evaluates the effect of earthquake shock sequences on the collapse mechanism
of Special Steel Moment Frames (SSMFs) by studying the distribution of plasticity and …

Seismic uncertainties pose response estimation procedures with serious concerns about
proper reflection of ground motion intensity measure (IM) and reasonable scaling of IM in a …

This article evaluates the seismic performance of structures equipped with a ribbed bracing
system (RBS). RBS uses ribbed faces that freely slide under compression, however …
