Seismic-resistant self-centering rocking core system with buckling restrained columns

In this study, the suite of 44 DBE-level ground motions used in FEMA P695 is numerically applied to several SCRC- BRCs to demonstrate the seismic performance of the system. The results show that the SCRC-BRC system has a nearly uniform inter-story drift response, high ductility, and a high energy dissipation capacity, and is an effective seismic-resistant system.
