Improving the Seismic Resilience of Steel Braced Frames Using Innovative Technologies

在2010年智利地震（里氏8.8级）、2011年日本东北地震（里氏9级）和2011年新西兰克赖斯特彻奇地震（里氏6.3级）之后，震后结构恢复能力开始引起政府和私营企业主的特别关注。研究人员得出结论，弹性结构系统应该能够：降低结构失效的概率，减少失效的后果，并缩短恢复时间。为了实现这一目标，需要在抗损伤技术领域取得新的发展。此外，下一代抗破坏建筑应该能够自我中心，并以可承受的成本进行修复。

The post-earthquake structural resilience started to be of particular interest to governments and private businesses ownersafter the 2010 Chile earthquake (M 8.8), the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan (M9), and the 2011 Christchurch aftershockearthquake in New Zealand (M6.3). Researchers concluded that a resilient structural system should be able to: reduceprobabilities of structure failure, reduce consequences from failures, and reduce recovery time. To achieve this goal, newdevelopments in the field of damage-resistant technologies are required. Furthermore, the next generation of damage-resistantbuildings should be able to self-center and to be reparable at an affordable cost.
