Rocking structural systems have been proposed as a promising solution for designing
resilient building structures. These low-damage systems can prevent significant economic …

Shear walls play crucial roles in buildings located in the seismically active regions by
efficiently mitigating the impact of seismic forces. However, they have drawbacks regarding …

A strong self-centering ability and robust ductility have previously been observed in the
pseudo-static cyclic loading test conducted on a self-centering shear wall (SCSW) with disc …

Abstract In this study, seven 1/3-scale bridge column specimens are investigated under the
same quasi-static cyclic loading protocol both experimentally and numerically. The …

The increasing need to reduce damage and downtime in modern buildings has led to the
development of a low‐damage design philosophy, where the earthquake loads can be …

Reinforced concrete (RC) wall is a common type of structural component used in high-rise
buildings to resist lateral loads induced by earthquakes. RC walls are typically designed and …

The beam-column joints of piers with reinforced concrete link beams (RCLB) are easy to be
damaged during earthquakes. Post-earthquake maintenance is very inconvenient since the …

This paper aims to investigate the seismic behavior of buildings equipped with self-centering
birocking walls to find out the optimum location of the rocking section in the height. For this …

This paper presents an experimental study on the seismic performance of a tri-axial self-
centering reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure. In such a structure, the column-base …

Abstract In this study, six 1/3-scale short bridge column specimens are investigated for shear
strength under the same quasi-static cyclic loading protocol. The specimens consist of one …
