Practical engineers should gain confidence in base isolation as an alternative to stiffening, a possible design approach for new as well as for existing buildings even under rare seismic conditions (in large corner period areas and for pulse-type seismic...

This paper reports a study on the Intermediate Isolation System (IIS) applied to existing buildings. This kind of application is particularly suitable when a vertical addition is planned for buildings in seismic zones; in such a case, an isolation system...

A key issue for the estimation of ground shaking is the proper selection of input motions at the seismic bedrock. At the same time, the effect of the input motion scaling strategy on structural response is typically studied disregarding the presence of t...

Seismic-resilient buildings are increasingly designed following low-damage and free-from-damage design strategies that aim to protect the structure?s primary load-bearing systems under ultimate-level seismic loads. With this scope, damping devices are lo...

The steel frame-reinforced concrete core tube structural system is widely used in mid-rise and high-rise buildings due to its good seismic behaviour and high construction efficiency. Since the steel frame and the reinforced concrete core tube are suppose...

In this work, a general method for the design of concentric braced steel frames (CBF) with active tension diagonal bracings, applicable to single- and multi-storey structures, is presented. The method is based on the use of an elastic modal analysis with...

In recent years, steel-concrete composite shear walls have been widely used in enormous high-rise buildings. Due to their high strength and ductility, enhanced stiffness, stable cycle characteristics and large energy absorption, such walls can be adopted...
