Abstract
ABSTRACT An upgraded rocking cores-moment frame (RCMF), aimed to improve the RCMF from life safety to seismic resilience, is proposed in this article by equipping the rocking cores with replaceable self-centering energy dissipation devices. Its seismic performance is assessed within a probabilistic framework, which treats maximum interstory drift ratio (MD) and residual interstory drift ratio (RD) as a combined engineering demand parameter. Results indicate that the upgraded RCMF demonstrates an outstanding performance in reducing MD, RD and their corresponding deviations, mitigating the drift concentration, especially in eliminating the RD, which highlights its potential to achieve seismic resilience.
