In this study, a new anchorage system has been introduced by employing the recently developed Resilient Slip Friction Dampers (RSFDs) as ductile self-centring hold-downs for liquid storage tanks. This new anchorage mechanism ...

Today, more attention is being given to timber material by practitioners as a structural member owing to benefits that this material can offer such as high strength to weight ratio, being environmentally friendly and ...

The objective of this study is to give an overview of the design and numerical analyses related to a full-scale steel structure shaking table test that includes some structural applications of Resilient Slip Friction Joint ...

Moment-resisting frames are one of the efficient lateral-load resisting systems in terms of providing architectural freedom in design and imposing smaller forces on foundations. Recent major earthquakes have resulted in ...

In this paper, to achieve a self-centring damage avoidance rocking framed system, RSFJ has been employed as a shear link between braced frame and its boundary columns. Such a system could be used for a single or coupled ...

Seismic retrofitting of the current non-ductile or limited ductile RC buildings is one of the challenging design topics among the scholars and engineers. The common technique for RC-frame retrofitting involves adding ...
