Seismic Rehabilitation of Steel Moment Frames Vulnerable to Soft-Story Failures Through Implementation of Rocking Cores
… steel moment frame building systems may exhibit soft-story failures. This thesis focuses on development and validation of a seismic retrofit strategy for avoiding soft-story failures in low-rise and mid-rise steel moment frame buildings. The considered retrofit strategy consists of a sufficiently …

Seismic Rehabilitation of Steel Concentrically Braced Frames Vulnerable to Soft-Story Failure Through Implementation of Rocking Cores
… the code-compliant ones) may be susceptible to soft-story failures during strong earthquakes. Such a failure mode causes catastrophic outcomes and should be definitely avoided in practice. This thesis focuses on development and validation of a seismic retrofit strategy for low-rise and mid-rise …

Performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) methodology for multi-story buildings with full-scale experimental validation
… older buildings that are code-deficient such as soft-story wood-frame buildings. Many retrofit procedures have been proposed by the research and structural engineering communities including force-based and performance-based retrofit methodologies. A performance-based seismic retrofit (PBSR) …

A new energy absorber for earthquake resistant buildings
… has been studied as an absorber of a first soft story method. The first soft story is one of the ideas which has been presented for the isolation of buildings from earthquake effects, however, no proper absorber has been suggested to be used in this method. This device has an excellent …

Investigation of Modular Cross-Laminated Timber Rocking Walls and Rocking Wall -- Light-Frame Shear Wall Dual Systems for Seismic Resilience
… The tests were designed to replicate the first story of low- to mid-rise mass timber buildings. Two of the walls included a laminated strand lumber (LSL) toe reinforcements aimed at preventing localized crushing damage upon rocking. Several key design parameters were considered, including wall …

Improved Understanding of The 2018 Mw7.5 Palu Earthquake Using Local Earthquake Tomography and Numerical Ground Motion Simulation
… and structural vulnerabilities, particularly in soft-story designs, which may have extended the natural period closer to 3 seconds, contributing to the damage. Although the simulation could not capture short-period motions, it underscores the significant influence of basin effects and …
