Self‐centering seismic‐resistant structures: Historical overview and state‐of‐the‐art
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 1321-1356, May 2022., 2022 This state‐of‐the‐art review provides an overview of the evolution of self‐centering structures from early historical structures that inherently exhibited a recentering response to modern systems engineered for enhanced seismic resilience. From the early research investigations that were conducted since the 1960s, to the sharp increase of interest in ...

Safety State Evaluation Method Based on Attribute Recognition Model for Ancient Timber Buildings
Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 To improve accuracy of safety state evaluation results for ancient timber buildings and to know the real state of the building, a safety grade evaluation model of ancient timber buildings is established based on attribute mathematic theory. From the perspective of macro, micro, qualitative, and quantitative, 22 factors may adversely affect the safety ...

The Application of Robotic Fabrication in Reinterpreting Traditional Chinese Joinery: The Dougong capital [PDF]
The Dougong (bracket set), consisting of wooden blocks (Dou) and bow-shaped brackets (Gong), is a typical structural element in traditional Chinese timber buildings. Its primary function is to transfer roof loadings to pillars.
