Steel structures have long been recognized as excellent earthquake-resistant systems.
However, this viewpoint wavered after the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Kobe earthquakes …

With critical lessons drawn from recent strong earthquakes, the engineering community is
appealing for a fundamental shift of the existing design philosophy for infrastructures in …

Various self-centering structural systems were developed and investigated for reducing
residual inter-story drifts of the traditional aseismic structural system by achieving full or …

This paper explored the seismic behaviour of self-centring hybrid-steel-frame (SC-HSF)
employing energy dissipation sequences and the corresponding inelastic seismic demand …

The hybrid self‐centering braced frames (HSBFs) with shape memory alloy‐based braces
(SMABs) and viscous dampers (VDs) are an emerging structural system developed for …

The self-centering braced frames (SCBFs) have been widely investigated for enhancing the
building structures' post-earthquake repairability by reducing or even eliminating the …

This study presents a novel type of shape memory alloy (SMA) cable‐restrained high
damping rubber (SMA‐HDR) bearing, which is particularly suited to near‐fault (NF) regions …

With critical lessons drawn from past major earthquakes, the engineering community is
appealing for a fundamental shift in the existing design philosophy for structures in seismic …

As a promising candidate in the construction industry, iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-
SMA) has attracted lots of attention in the engineering and metallography communities …

This study proposed novel designs for achieving self-centering (SC) behavior using
superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) buckling-restrained plates (BRPs). Compared with …
