Seismic Performance of Reduced‐Strength Steel MRFs With SMA‐Based Superelastic Friction Dampers: An Experimental Investigation

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit excellent self‐centering capability due to their stress‐induced phase transformation, making them highly suitable for applications in resilient infrastructure. This study investigates the seismic performance of reduced‐strength moment‐resisting frames (MRFs) equipped with SMA‐based superelastic friction ...

Evaluation and control of collapsible soils in Okanagan-Thompson region

, 2018
An increase in population levels has led to extensive land development and increased construction on problematic soils. Problematic soils such as collapsible soils are the main reason for many geological hazards that lead to significant maintenance costs.

Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

A Parametric Computational Framework for Modeling and Seismic Design of Post‐Tensioned Mass Timber Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This
