This state-of-the-art review provides an overview of the evolution of seismic design
requirements for main steel building seismic force–resisting systems, as driven by new …

The dual self-centering variable friction brace (DSC-VFB) is a novel resilient system with a
loading stiffness higher than the unloading stiffness and an enhanced energy dissipation …

Steel plate shear walls comprise web plates connected to beams and columns, also referred
to as vertical and horizontal boundary elements, respectively. When loaded laterally, web …

The self-centering steel plate shear walls with slits (SC-SPSWS) is a new seismic load-
resisting system that combines the good ductility, energy dissipation capacity of the steel …

Conventional eccentric braced frames often sustain large residual deformations and
significant damages after strong earthquakes which may lead to heavy damages or even …

A steel plate shear wall with slits (SPSWS) is an effective anti-seismic component element,
which owns good ductility and energy dissipation capacity. The infill steel plate is divided …

The rocking mechanism of self-centring connections can lead to frame expansion, which can
cause significant deformation demands on structural members, incompatible displacements …

Rocking post-tensioned steel frames capitalise on the use of rocking joints, and unbonded
post-tensioning strands to provide self-centring action. Investigations on the complex and …

This paper presents the first full-scale experimental investigation of the self-centering steel
plate shear wall (SC-SPSW) system. The SC-SPSW system is a lateral force-resisting …

Steel plate shear walls with beam-connected web plates (B-SPSWs) are an alternative steel
plate shear wall (SPSW) configuration in which the web plate edges are detached from the …
