This research is devoted to developing a finite element model using Abaqus code for the
computer simulation of an in-house developed and manufactured rubber bearing subjected …

This study investigates the response of a multi-story base-isolated building with traditional
bearings supplemented by fluid inerter dampers (FID). The structure is modelled as a multi …

A novel fully assembled composite wall was developed to achieve a mechanical and
convenient assembly connection with horizontal and vertical joints connected by bolts …

The performance of a viscoelastic damper is governed by the mechanical properties of the
viscoelastic material, which are sensitive to prestrain. Among viscoelastic materials, carbon …

Earthquakes, ancient and unpredictable natural hazards, shake the earth beneath us,
impacting structures and systems with the potential for significant loss of life and property. In …

Unseating may be one of the most severe forms of damage to a bridge caused by an
earthquake; such an event may lead to catastrophic span falling or collapse. A novel …

In this research we conducted a sensitivity experimental study where we explored the
dependency of the shear strain on the seismic properties of bearings, namely lead rubber …

Seismically isolated nuclear power plants (NPPs) can provide substantial benefits towards
reducing the failure probability of NPPs, especially for beyond design basis earthquake …

Securing the stability of seismic isolation structures under extreme loads is one of the
challenges for countries located in earthquake-prone areas. In Japan, large-scale …

Based on the effect of damped shear deformation on energy dissipation, a new constrained
damping base for a polymer injection platform deck is proposed to reduce the excessive …
