Abstract:Coupling a rocking wall with a moment-resisting frame (MRF) is a viable and practical solution to mitigate the risk of soft-story mechanisms. However, little research has been conducted to investigate the retrofitted MRFs’ post-repair performance and the cost-performance of intervention. This research conducted a numerical parametric study to assess the cost-effectiveness of the retrofitting approach and shed light on the seismic performance of the retrofitted frames. To this end, three steel benchmark MRFs (i… Show more
