This book introduces cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to enhance seismic resilience in shear wall and frame structures. It presents innovative solutions that address the limitations of traditional seismic design, focusing on minimizing structural damage and reducing economic losses following major earthquakes. The first part delves into resilient shear wall structures, featuring novel concrete sandwich wall designs and advanced seismic connections. The second part focuses on innovative frame structures, including self-centering joints and braces that exhibit flag-shaped hysteresis behavior and provide significant displacement control.
This book also offers comprehensive validation through theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and experimental research, providing practical solutions for designing structures with high seismic resilience. It is an essential reference for civil engineers, structural engineers, researchers, and students interested in enhancing earthquake safety and improving the efficiency of structural design.
