Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2760-2780, September 2026.ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

Rethinking structural safety for a volatile century
Fundamental ResearchMost structural design frameworks remain rooted in outdated assumptions: that hazards occur in isolation, materials do not degrade, and failure can be prevented through overdesign. In an era marked by accelerating climate volatility, cascading disasters,
