This paper proposes the novel concept of retrofitting damaged reinforced concrete frame with self-centering and energy-dissipating rocking wall.Parametric studies were carried out base on pushover and time-history anal...
A controlled rocking concentrically steel braced frame(CR-CSBF)is introduced as an alternative to conventional methods to prevent major structural damage during large earthquakes.It is equipped with elastic post-tensi...
Self-centering earthquake-resistant structures have received increased attention due to their ability to reduce post-earthquake residual deformations and,thus,repair time and cost.This stimulated the development of re...
