This paper presents the seismic upgrade of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures by
using a self-centering post-tensioned pre-cast concrete frame with friction dampers (SC-PC …

Abstract The Resilient Slip Friction Joint (RSFJ) has recently been developed and
introduced to the construction industry. This joint is a friction-based energy dissipation …

The FEMA P695 methodology does not consider the application of the vertical component of
ground motions in nonlinear response history dynamic analyses for obtaining collapse …

This paper introduces a review of self‐centering steel frame systems for seismic‐resistant
structures. The components and basic mechanisms of the developing posttensioned …

A bracing system consisting of tension-only superelastic nickel-titanium shape-memory alloy
(SMA) was developed and implemented as a retrofitting methodology for seismically …

The observations from recent seismic events, shake table tests and large-scale experimental
studies showed that mass timber structures demonstrate acceptable seismic performance …

This research proposes a procedure to retrofit existing structures using self-centring post-
tensioned precast concrete (SC-PC) frames. The procedure utilises the initial stiffness of the …

A variety of self-centering devices and structural systems have been proposed and
investigated in recent years to eliminate or reduce postearthquake repair, but so far their …

Compared with conventional moment-resisting steel frames, self-centering steel moment-
resisting frames (SC-MRFs) exhibit better performances in controlling structural damage …

The new braced frame with double round steel tube was proposed in this study. To
understand the seismic performance of the structure, the numerical model was established …
