Hybrid Self-Centring Steel Frames: Hysteretic Behaviour and Structural Seismic Design (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering)

Hybrid Self-Centring Steel Frames: Hysteretic Behaviour and Structural Seismic Design provides readers with up-to-date information on hybrid steel frames equipped with self-centring energy dissipation bays (HSF-SCEDBs), an innovative seismic-resilient structural system.The book provides details on the conception and development of HSF-SCEDBs.It comprehensively discusses a series of experimental programmes investigating the hysteretic behaviour of novel materials and structural components that endow HSF-SCEDBs with self-centring and energy dissipation capabilities.Furthermore, the book reports detailed discussions on the dynamic behaviour of HSF-SCEDBs based on the results of numerical simulations.The book also reveals the seismic demand of HSF-SCEDBs from a spectral perspective using equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems.Building upon these insights, it develops seismic design and evaluation frameworks to bridge the gap between academic research and practical implementatio
