In practical engineering, the friction damper is a widely used energy dissipation device
because of its large deformation capacity, stable energy dissipation capability, and cost …

A controlled rocking concentrically steel braced frame (CR-CSBF) is introduced as an
alternative to conventional methods to prevent major structural damage during large …

Purpose Almost design code is required for repairability of the buildings after a major
earthquake. One such idea is “directed-damage design”(DDD), which means guiding the …

The main drawback of conventional braced frames is implicitly accepting structural damage
under the design earthquake load, which leads to considerable economic losses. Controlled …

A large amount of energy is dissipated to the structure during a major earthquake causing
structural damage to the building. Based on the understanding about seismic activities, the …

To create a partial rocking mode in a building structure during an earthquake, two or more
rigid cores with joint connection to the foundation, and capable of moving in the two main …

To avoid the overturning hazard of high‐rise buildings with traditional isolation technology, a
rock‐slip structure with cables (RSSC) was proposed to improve their seismic performance …

Most of seismic design codes for building systems allow heavy damages to buildings, in
case of major earthquakes, provided that the buildings are prevented against collapse or to …

Using seesaw structural system in buildings is a way for creating earthquake-resilient
buildings, namely buildings which can be easily and quickly repaired with little cost, even …

Structural fuses and rocking system are used in order to reduce the building response to
earthquakes and damage guidance. In the proposed seesaw motion system, which is similar …
