Proposal for seismic design coefficients for rocking steel braced frame [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 Rocking steel braced frames are capable of reducing seismic damage through directing damage in energy dissipation elements. This paper quantifies seismic design factors for the controlled rocking self-centering braced frame including response ...

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Building-Damper System under Near-Fault Earthquake
Shock and Vibration, 2020 The building-damper system designed by a seismic code is usually considered to be able to withstand the attack of strong earthquakes. However, near-fault earthquakes, especially those with the forward-directivity effect, might cause early and unexpected ...

Mechanism and experimental validation of innovative self-centering conical friction damper
Structural Control and Health Monitoring, 2020 Past earthquakes have shown that traditional structural design relies on the component ductility to dissipate the earthquake energy. This has led to significant damage for the structure. Innovative energy dissipation devices have been developed in the past to dissipate the earthquake energy.
