Multi-story hybrid timber-steel structures are becoming progressively desirable owing to their
aesthetic and environmental benefits and also to the relatively higher strength to weight ratio …

A new friction moment joint for steel framed structures is described. It has a similar cost to
conventional construction and is designed such that there is negligible damage to the frame …

The innovative resilient slip friction joint (RSFJ) technology has recently been developed
and introduced to the construction industry. This technology not only aims to provide life …

Sliding hinge joints (SHJs) used in beam-to-column connections of moment frames have a
moment-rotational behaviour that depends on asymmetric friction connection (AFC) sliding …

The use of rocking walls with seismic fuses is an efficient solution for mass timber structures.
This paper presents and compares mass timber wall systems with different types of seismic …

In recent decades, there has been increasing interest in the use of slip-friction connectors (or
slotted-bolt connectors) to dissipate energy in earthquake resistant structures. These …

Friction-based dampers are a valid solution for non-invasive seismic retrofitting interventions
of existing structures, particularly reinforced-concrete (RC) structures. The design of friction …

In the event of seismic overloading, timber shear walls have normally been designed to yield
by allowing inelastic distortion of the sheathing-to-framing nail connections, thereby …

A new precast self-centering concrete wall structure is presented, namely a set of slip-friction
energy dissipating devices is installed at the wall toe. The opening and closing of the walls' …

In order to realize the urgent requirement for damage control and rapid recovery of structural
function after earthquake excitations using more convenient strategies, a bolted steel frame …
