TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear dynamic analysis is implemented for a three-story concentrically braced steel frame and it is demonstrated that a drift concentration is inevitable, particularly in the first story, when the CBF is subjected to a set of large ground motions with a probability of exceedance of 2% in 50 years.

TL;DR: In this article, a peer-to-peer (P2P) Internet online hybrid test system is proposed, where the simulated structure is divided into multiple substructures, and each substructure is analyzed numerically or tested physically in parallel at geographically distributed locations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a test program with seven specimens on steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich walls with headed studs and in-fill concrete core under in-plane compression.

TL;DR: In this paper, buckling restrained braces (BRBs) exhibit almost identical behavior in tension and compression, and to arrange BRBs in a double K configuration may provide an efficient solution of connecting BRBs to reinforced concrete members by exempting the steel-to-concrete interface from unfavorable tensile force.

TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid numerical and experimental simulation to collapse was conducted on a one-half scale moment-resisting frame building with two experimental substructures at different locations.
