Enhancing the seismic performance of plan irregular L-shaped reinforced concrete buildings using steel bracing systems

Seismic retrofitting of existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is often required because of deficiencies in their original design, changes in seismic provisions, or increased functional demands. This study evaluates the effectiveness of steel bracing for improving the seismic performance of a ten-story, plan-irreg...

Mechanical Properties and Earthquake Response Analysis of Seismic Isolation Bearing with Displacement-Restraining Device

Traditional lead rubber bearings (LRB) often fail under strong earthquakes due to excessive horizontal displacement of the isolation layer, which is caused by the lack of a synchronous displacement limiting mechanism. To address this issue, this study proposes a novel Displacement-Restrained seismic isolation Bearing (...
