Abstract: Recently developed steel self-centering moment-resisting frames (SC-MRFs) have been validated analytically and experimentally as having the potential to eliminate structural damage under a design basis earthquake and restore ...

Abstract: Iran is located in a seismically active region, which poses a significant threat of destructive earthquakes. Given the dense populations they support and their structural importance, schools demand resilience across various ...

Abstract: Special concentrically braced frames (CBFs) are widely used as efficient lateral-load resisting systems in seismic regions. In this study, experimentally validated finite-element (FE) models are used to investigate the ...
