An energy dissipative cladding panel system was proposed for large precast concrete
cladding panels in multi-story buildings. A six-story, three-span planar prototype frame …

This research presents a methodology to study the behavior of buildings subjected to
seismic and tsunami loading in sequence, considering soil structure interaction effects …

With the structural design paradigm shift since the early 2000′ s from the traditional
approach to performance-based design (PBD), there has been a growing need for reliable …

The vertical component of ground motions can affect the seismic performance of reinforced
concrete (RC) piers as significant as its horizontal counterpart. However, real‐time testing for …

In this paper, the seismic response of a steel truss arch bridge subjected to near-fault ground
motions is studied. Then, the idea of applying buckling restrained braces (BRBs) to a steel …

Abstract Near-fault (NF) pulse-like ground motions may contain long-period velocity pulses
and high-frequency acceleration records, which impose significant damage on structures …

Isolation is a high-performance technique to realize the seismic resilient building. However,
there is a paucity of studies on seismic resilience of isolated buildings considering the …

Near-fault (NF) ground motions may induce higher demands on structures compared to far-
fault records. This is often due to the velocity pulses, called forward-directivity pulses, which …

In this study, a novel two-level friction damping connection (TLFDC) is proposed for
connecting the ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) cladding panels to the main …

Properly modeling the cyclic elastoplastic behavior of structural steels is essential for
establishing accurate analyses of structures subjected to earthquake excitation. However …
