This paper explores the use of sliding friction dampers (SFDs) as dissipative floor
connectors to mitigate higher mode effects and earthquake‐induced absolute acceleration …

For a high-rise structure composed of a shear-and a flexural-type subsystem, its seismic
performance can be improved as the rigid link between the subsystems being replaced by a …

This paper presents an innovative precast concrete (PC) building structure consisted of
discretely connected PC floors (DCPCF) and PC frames with dry beam-column connections …

This paper assesses the effects of (1) the gravity load‐resisting system (GLRS) modeling
approach,(2) the seismic force‐resisting system (SFRS) modeling approach, and (3) the …

This paper discusses the seismic response of a three-dimensional (3D) 18-story reinforced
concrete core wall building model with modified friction-based force-limiting connections …

This paper presents a simple and practical structural connection able to develop
predetermined discrete variable friction forces at target design displacement levels. The …

Buildings with lateral force resisting systems that have base rocking mechanism (eg precast
post-tensioned rocking shear walls, selfcentering special concentrically braced frames) or …

This paper presents preliminary results from earthquake numerical simulations of an
eighteen-story building model with a reinforced concrete core wall seismic forceresisting …

This study aims to find out how the government's role in the governance of emergency
infrastructure development after the tsunami disaster in North Lombok Regency. The type of …

This thesis studies the seismic response of an eighteen-story core wall building with force-
limiting connections and low-damage coupling beams. Force-limiting connections allow the …
