There is increasing public pressure to have seismic-resistant structures made with massive wooden panels such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). It is well-known that the type and behaviour of the connections govern the ...

In the ever-evolving earthquake engineering field, the need of the hour is to achieve earthquake-resistant buildings which have immediate occupancy following an earthquake. This implies that the demand for resilient dampers ...

Conventional friction-based damping devices are known for their large energy dissipation capacity and economic benefits compared to other seismic mitigation systems. These devices have been implemented in many practical ...
