Seismic Upgrade of Steel Frame Buildings by Using Damped Braces
Applied Sciences, 2023 Supplementary energy dissipation has proved to be an effective way of protecting structures from the disastrous effects of earthquakes and has been used in the last decades both in new and in existing constructions. In this regard, various procedures for

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2005 Some important aspects of the subject of the repair to and the strengthening of buildings, before and after an earthquake, are investigated in this paper. It has to be noted that, far more than that of recent constructions, many older buildings are susceptible to earthquake damage.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While cross‐laminated timber (CLT) is increasingly utilized in lateral force‐resisting systems in mass timber construction, research has predominantly focused on platform‐type construction. Balloon‐type CLT shear wall systems offer distinct structural advantages, notably the elimination of cumulative perpendicular‐to‐grain compression and a ...
