Evaluation of the Seismic Retrofitting of Mainshock-Damaged Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure Using Steel Braces with Soft Steel Dampers

Most reinforced concrete (RC) frames would exhibit different degrees of damage after mainshock excitations, and these mainshock-damaged RC (MD-RC) frames are highly vulnerable to severe damage or even complete collapse under aftershock excitations. In the present study, the effectiveness of utilizin...
