Assessment of Soft-First-Floor Structures Reinforced by Rocking Frame Based on Seismic Resilience
As a no-disturbance integrated-retrofitting technique, an external rocking frame was widely used on reinforced concrete (RC) structures.Yet, with the increasing demand for seismic strengthening of existing buildings, it has become a concern to evaluate the seismic strengthening schemes based on seismic resilience.Firstly, the dynamic equation of th
