Abstract: In this paper, we propose an assembled self-centering buckling-restrained brace (ASCBRB), which eliminates the residual drift of structures after a major horizontal displacement. The ASCBRB also represents an advanced ...

Abstract: The seismic behavior of shear walls is significantly influenced by the axial load ratio (ALR), and a maximum ALR limit is generally specified by current seismic design code. To achieve improved performance under a high ...
