The increasing emphasis on the resilience and sustainability of the built environment in modern building construction has led to the development of low-damage solutions such as rocking systems. In this context, the Life Cycle Thinking approach is essential to ensure both structural performance and the long-term environmental and economic sustainability of design decisions. Self-centering rocking systems minimize residual deformations and structural damage, enabling rapid post-earthquake recovery while reducing repair costs and resource consumption. This study investigates the application of re-centering rocking systems in lightweight steel structures. The focus is on the analysis of in-plane frames with controlled rocking mechanisms that include post-tensioned members and energy dissipators such as friction or viscous devices. A sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate the structural response when different energy dissipation devices are integrated into the frame.
