This paper presents the finite-element analytical results of the self-centering steel plate wall (SC-SPSW) specimen which was tested using pseudo-dynamic testing procedur [...]

The effects of ground motion duration and the shape of the spectrum after the structure softens are not accounted for in structural design. The design code recommends tha [...]

Sedimentary basins tend to increase the intensity of ground-motions and the resulting damage to structures. Although current U.S. seismic hazard maps do not account for t [...]

Steel concentrically braced frames (CBFs) have been used as seismic force resisting systems for many years. In seismically active regions of the US, the chevron configura [...]

Concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are one of the most common lateral-force-resisting systems in steel construction. In the US, they have been used to resist earthquake [...]
