      Hybrid Self-Centring Steel Frames: Hysteretic Behaviour and Structural Seismic Design provides readers with up-to-date information on hybrid steel frames equipped with self-centring energy dissipation bays (HSF-SCEDBs), an innovative seismic-resilient structural system. The book provides details on the conception and development of HSF-SCEDBs. It comprehensively discusses a series of experimental programmes investigating the hysteretic behaviour of novel materials and structural components that endow HSF-SCEDBs with self-centring and energy dissipation capabilities. Furthermore, the book reports detailed discussions on the dynamic behaviour of HSF-SCEDBs based on the results of numerical simulations. The book also reveals the seismic demand of HSF-SCEDBs from a spectral perspective using equivalent single-degree-of-fre... (SDOF) systems. Building upon these insights, it develops seismic design and evaluation frameworks to bridge the gap between academic research and practical implementation, positioning the book as a valuable resource for practitioners and academics in structural and seismic engineering. By integrating advanced technologies and methodologies aligned with current seismic design trends, the book aspires to advance the frontiers of knowledge in structural and seismic engineering.

      Fire Behaviour and the Residual Mechanical Properties of Structural Concrete helps readers understand these processes, enabling engineers and researchers to develop effective fire protection measures and design guidelines for concrete structures. Studying the behavior of concrete under fire is crucial for understanding the performance and safety of concrete structures in fire conditions. Concrete is widely used in the construction industry due to its strength, durability, and fire resistance properties. However, even though concrete is inherently fire-resistant, it can still be affected by high temperatures.When concrete is exposed to fire, several physical and chemical processes take place that can lead to its deterioration and eventual failure. This book helps readers understand these processes, enabling engineers and researchers to develop effective fire protection measures and design guidelines for concrete structures.
