This study offers a comprehensive review of Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD)
under various dynamic loads, including seismic, blast, fire, and impact, with a focus on how …

In the last few decades, a series of earthquakes were recorded which pointed out several
deficiencies regarding the ductile seismic response of MR RC frame structures. Thus, the …

The unsymmetrical configurations in buildings lead to non-uniform distributions in their
strength, mass, and stiffness, and they are consequently prone to damage during seismic …

The aim of this study is to develop a performance-based seismic design method targeting a
desirable collapse fragility curve. This direct fragility-based design method is developed and …

In this paper, the effectiveness of the modeling method is verified by the finite element
analysis of the preliminary test. Three finite element models of traditional air-cooled support …

In the last few decades, the idea of using thin steel plate shear walls (SPSW) as a resistant
system against lateral loads in designing and reinforcing buildings has been of concern to …

Based on high-strength bolts, steel plates and other components to achieve the advantages
of prefabricated shear wall assembly connection “dry connection” operation advantages, a …

Based on a practical engineering case of seismic strengthening, this paper used the
enlarging cross-section method and an external self-centering substructure to improve the …

Direct-displacement based design (DDBD) approach is a significant development in
structural fields to outdo the deficits of force-based design (FBD) for reinforced concrete (RC) …

Abstract Design of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with a direct-displacement-based
design (DDBD) method has been used extensively for the last few decades around the …
