Although conventional reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are prevalent in mid-rise to high-
rise framed buildings located in moderate to high seismic regions around the world, these …

Rocking structural systems have been proposed as a promising solution for designing
resilient building structures. These low-damage systems can prevent significant economic …

This paper presents an experimental study carried out on unbonded posttensioned (PT)
segmental precast concrete columns. In total, eight cylindrical columns were posttensioned …

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 …

This paper presents a review of high performance damage‐resistant seismic resistant
structural (DRSRS) systems for the sustainable and resilient city. Firstly, the motivation and …

Segmental self-centering columns are an advantageous construction choice in earthquake
prone areas due to their minimal or even zero residual deformation and their low …

In this research, the feasibility of strengthening self-centering walls by high-performance
concrete was investigated through an experimentally validated finite element model. The …

Self-centering concrete shear wall systems have significant advantages, including lower
seismic damage and excellent restoration ability to facilitate repairing, over traditional cast-in …

This study proposed an analytical method to predict the hysteresis behavior of hybrid
rocking walls (HRWs) in the two limit states of decompression and geometric nonlinearity …

Self-centering rocking walls offer the possibility of minimizing repair costs and downtimes,
and also nullify the residual drift after seismic events, thanks to their self-centering …
