Although conventional reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are prevalent in mid-rise to high-
rise framed buildings located in moderate to high seismic regions around the world, these …

近年我国地震工程研究的发展呈现从抗震, 减隔震走向可恢复功能的趋势.
地震可恢复功能可定义为: 受到地震动输入扰动后, 结构, 系统, 城市具有可恢复功能的能力 …

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

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 …

This paper presents a comparative study of the seismic performance of base-rocking and bi-
rocking walls with different location of the rocking section systems. To this aim, structures of …

In recent years, the research on earthquake engineering in our country showed a tendency
of development from earthquake resistance, energy dissipation, and isolation to resilience …

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 …

Self‐centering energy dissipative (SCED) braces have the potential to contribute greatly to
building resiliency, because the braces can limit both maximum and residual story drifts …

To enhance the repairability of lateral force resisting systems after earthquakes, a novel
precast rocking wall with multiple steel energy dissipaters (PRW-MED) was devised, and a …

This paper reports an experimental work on a novel self-centering brace, which is a serial
combination of shape memory alloy slip friction damper and steel tube. The study initiates …
