Abstract:Due to the widespread construction of steel gabled frame systems throughout the world, many of them are located in regions with high seismicity and experience sequential strong events in the future. Previous studies have clearly shown that the damage caused by the mainshock modifies the overall strength and stiffness and consequently dynamic response to the aftershock. However, the current structural design process only considers the main seismic event, and the post-mainshock scenarios and their effects are ge… Show more
