Three‐Dimensional Analytical Model of a Podium Structure With Rocking Columns of Square Cross Section

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allowing structural systems to uplift and rock during seismic excitation has emerged as an effective and inherently self‑centering form of seismic isolation. This paper develops a computationally efficient 3D analytical model suitable for the understanding of the behavior of rocking bridges.

Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Direction‐Aware Period Prediction for Seismic Risk Assessment and Application to an Urban Tall Building Portfolio in China

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable estimation of the principal periods is essential for regional seismic risk assessment (RSRA) of urban building portfolios. For tall buildings, however, existing period‐prediction formulas are constrained by the lack of representative data, while building translational azimuths are neglected despite their importance for regional ...

A Parametric Computational Framework for Modeling and Seismic Design of Post‐Tensioned Mass Timber Rocking Walls

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber (PT‐CLT) rocking walls offer a compelling seismic system combining self‐centering behavior with energy dissipation. However, progress in their performance assessment and design has been limited by the lack of a comprehensive parametric modeling tool, as exists for steel or reinforced concrete systems. This
