Finite element analysis of the PreWEC self-centering concrete wall system [PDF]
Engineering Structures, 2016 Abstract A self-centering concrete wall system has been developed that consists of a Precast Wall with End Columns (PreWEC). A finite element model was developed to investigate the cyclic lateral-load response of the PreWEC system that included allowance for uplift at the wall-to-foundation interface, inclusion of the energy dissipating O-connectors,

Cyclic Behavior of Self-Centering, Eccentric Configuration, Buckling-Restrained, Braced Frame [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2021 Buckling-restrained braced frames can considerably reduce the seismic responses, because of their high energy dissipation capacity. However, they have big residual drifts subjected to great earthquakes.

Development of efficiency index for steel moment frames with Self-Centering Connections [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2021 Traditional earthquake-resistant systems are dependent on the inelastic response of the building members. These systems experience significant residual displacements after major earthquakes due to seismic energy distribution all over the building and ...

Investigation of the performance of self-centering steel plate shear walls under fire loading [PDF]
Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering, 2022 A potential multi-hazard scenario for buildings is the sequential occurrence of fire and earthquake. This scenario is possible if an initial seismic event triggers fire and a subsequent aftershock occurs.
